A Recipe for
Southwestern Style Pinto Beans
Always eat grapes downward - that is eat the best grapes first; in this way there will be none better left on the bunch, and each grape will seem good down to the last. If you eat the other way, you will not have a good grape in the lot. |

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