    Lima Beans with Ham

    I made a stock pot full of these rascals late Friday and ate on 'em all weekend. Absolutely awesome:

    1 of the larger packets of big dry Lima beans (not baby Limas)
    Soak overnight, or rapid boil (beans only) to soften- per instructions on bean bag.
    Add one of those large slices (approx. 12" diameter x +3/8" thick diameter or so) of pre cooked ham, or 4-6 smoked pork chops cut into bite size pieces approx. 1/2"by 1"-include ham or pork chop bones for stock taste. Alternatively you can used leftover ham plus bone cut up similarly.
    Add:
    one large diced yellow onion
    I/2 to 1 full cut-up garlic
    2 -8oz cans of diced tomatoes
    I tspn mustard (powder)
    1/4 cup vinegar
    1 tblspn cooking oil
    2 sticks butter
    1 tspn ginger
    1 bay leaf
    2-3 tblspn molasses or sub brown sugar
    Salt, pepper & Tony's according to your specific tastes

    Cover above contents plus approx. 1.5-2" with two cartons of chicken stock and finish with water.
    Bring beans and above contents to boil again, then reduce to simmer for 2 hours.
    Pleasant aromas throughout house may force you to dive in after 1.5 hours.
    Will add photo on next batch!
    Enjoy!
