Step 1

Rinse the dry beans in a colander. Put them in a large stock pot and add 12 cups water.

Step 2

Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to a medium-low simmer.

Step 3

Add the garlic, onion, sugar, chicken bouillon, jalapeno/s, and ham bone. Bring to a boil again and then reduce the heat to medium low.

Step 4

Simmer on medium low with the lid on but vented. (Tilted so that it's not sealed) Stir occasionally.

Step 5

Cook for 2-3 hours. After about an hour and a half, add salt so that it can absorb into the beans as they finish cooking. I added somewhere between 2-3 teaspoons, but taste as you go. The beans will continue to absorb the salt as they finish cooking, so be cautious.

Step 6

Continue cooking until the beans are tender. Taste them ; if the beans are still hard or chalky, keep simmering. Don't wait until the liquid has cooked off so much that they look like refried beans--you want plenty of bean gravy.

Step 7

Remove the ham bone and discard (if there is any meat on it, chop it and add it to the pot).

Step 8

Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh limes.

Step 9

Rinse the dry beans in a colander.* Add to a crock pot, then fill the pot with water until it reaches 2 inches above the beans. Add all the other ingredients except the salt.

Step 10

Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Start checking at 6 hours and taste. Add the salt for the last hour of cooking.

Step 11

Remove the ham bone and discard (if there is any meat on it, chop it and add it to the pot).

Step 12

Garnish with limes.

Step 13

Fill your crock pot about 1/3 of the way with water. Turn the crock pot to high and put on the lid. Set aside.

Step 14

Put the rinsed beans in a large stock pot and add water 1 and 1/2 inches above the beans.

Step 15

Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to medium and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Step 16

Pour the beans into a colander and strain well.

Step 17

Add the beans to the crock pot with the heated water. Add the rest of the ingredients, excluding the salt. When all the ingredients are added, check the water level. The water should be about 1 and 1/2 inches above the beans. Add or remove water accordingly.

Step 18

Cook on high for 4-5 hours, adding the salt for the last hour or so.

Step 19

Remove the ham bone and discard (if there is any meat on it, chop it and add it to the pot).

Step 20

Season with pepper to taste, garnish with limes.
