    Ingredients

    • 2 lb Dry Pinto Beans -- soaked
    •     Overnight
    • 1 lrg Ham Hocks
    • 3 x Jalepeno Peppers -- to
    •     Taste
    • 1 quart Tomatoes, Canned
    • 5 x Garlic Cloves -- to taste
    • 2 med Onions -- finely minced
    • 1 Tbsp. Salt -- to taste
    • 2 Tbsp. Chili Pwdr
    • 1 tsp Oregano
    • 1 tsp Summer Savory
    • 2 Tbsp. Sugar
    • 1 stalk Celery

    Directions

    1. Soak the pinto beans in water overnight, or possibly about 6-8 hrs. Drain the water and rinse the beans well.
    2. Simmer the ham hock for about 2 hrs in sufficient water to cover; about 2 qts. (You could also use a lb. of side pork or possibly slab bacon cut into 1 inch chunks.) Remove the meat from the hock and return it to the cooking pot. Add in the pre-soaked and rinsed beans to the pot, along with the rest of the ingredients. Add in sufficient water or possibly tomato juice to bring the level to about 4 1/2 qts total volume. Cover and simmer for about 4 hrs, or possibly longer if you have a slow cooker. Watch the liquid level while cooking so the beans do not get too dry.
    3. Adjust the warm peppers to suit your taste.
