Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Rinse and sort through beans to check for any small pebbles or debris.

* Step 2

Place beans in a Dutch oven, add water to cover by 2 inches.

* Step 3

Bring to boil, boil 2 min.

* Step 4

Remove from heat, cover and let sit for 1 hour.

* Step 5

Drain beans and place them in a separate bowl.

* Step 6

In the Dutch oven sauté onion, celery and garlic in 3T butter until tender.

* Step 7

Put beans back in Dutch oven along with ham bone, ham chunks, water, broth, tomatoes, bay leaf, ground cloves and pepper. ( below is a pic of soup mixture and the ham chunks I purchased at Wal-mart)

* Step 8

Bring to boil then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for about 2 1/2 hrs. Until beans are soft.

* Step 9

Remove ham bone and bay leaf.

* Step 10

Let sit until cool enough to handle then chill in refrigerator overnight. (Just put the Dutch oven in fridge, no need to transfer to another container)

* Step 11

Skim fat off of top. ( this pic shows the bottom half has been skimmed and top half still has fat layer. Just so you can see what you're needing to remove. )
