    Recipe



    Sort over peas and beans. Combine peas and beans, rinse and soak in 2 quarts water overnight (or bring to a boil, cook 2 minutes; let stand, covered, 1 hour). Drain. Combine peas and beans with next 12 ingredients and 2 quarts water in large kettle or Dutch oven. Simmer, covered, until beans have tender skins and are mealy inside (2-3 hours). Stir in cubed ham during last half hour of cooking. Remove bay leaf and cloves.

    Variation: Substitute 1 (1 pound) bag 16 Bean Mix for dried peas and beans.

    Makes about 14 (1 cup) servings.
