Red Beans with Christmas Ham Bone

 

The leftover holiday ham bone makes all the difference in good red or white beans. Big ham bone with lots of ham I cut off so a double batch of beans. 2 lbs. of red beans.

Red Beans with Easter Ham Bone

 

Big ham bone. I had two pounds of dried red kidney beans in the pantry and two big onions so this is a double batch. Lots of chopped onion. More pics as I go along. I am pre-boiling the beans now before starting the real cooking. The water turns black so this step is to remove impurities and it makes for a smoother finished dish.
