Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound navy beans (dried)
  • 1 smoked pork hock
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Place your smoked hock in a small pot and add water to come at least half way up. Bring to a boil, then turn down and allow to simmer.
  • In the meantime, sort through your beans and rinse them.
  • Add the smoked pork hock and its broth. Add enough water to cover the beans by one inch.
  • Bring the beans to a boil. Reduce the heat and then turn down to a simmer.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are almost tender. Remove the hock and allow it to a cool a bit.
  • After the hock is cool enough to handle, remove any pieces of meat and cut them into small pieces, and add them back to the beans.
  • When the beans are tender, taste for seasoning and add salt if necessary. Serve with cornbread.
