The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1 pound dried great Northern beans

Instruction

  • Rinse and pick over the beans.
  • Place in a deep pot or Dutch oven with cold water, salt pork, and rosemary stalks.
  • Bring to a boil, lower heat to a steady simmer and cook for 2 hours adding more water if needed to keep beans moist.
  • Remove the salt pork and add the remaining ingredients. Bring back to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer.
