24. I love Great Northern Beans with ham hock!

Thu Nov 21, 2024, 08:26 PM

Nov 21

My mother made the best white beans!!! Hers had a kind of thick gravy instead of broth; we had them with cornbread and sometimes greens. I have yet to make mine like hers, but I can do them in the instant pot in a short time, so that's good.

I got so homesick for them when I lived in Massachusetts!!! I could not find the beans or the self rising cornmeal anywhere. My sister used to take them back to Connecticutt with her when she visited.

the baby lima beans cooked just tender with a nice white sauce can be very good. but it has to be the baby ones!
