Recipe
Instructions:
Rinse and sort dried Navy Beans. Soak 1# beans in lots of cold water with 1/4 cup whey or lemon juice for 24 hours.
Drain and rinse well.
Slice the bacon into little pieces.
Chop the onion.
Put a heavy bottomed pan on your stove and fry the bacon and onions together.
Add the drained beans and enough water to cover by a couple of inches.
Bring to a simmer and carefully skim off as much of the foam as you can.
Cover the pot and set on a low heat and cook for at least 2 hours, and if you like, you can cook it a lot longer, but check from time to time and see if you need to add more boiling water.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy! We like ours with homemade cornbread and butter. We also like to eat some raw onion slices on the side.
