Big Pot Of Porky Pinto Beans

• 1 pound of pinto beans (2 cups)
• 1/4 tablespoons of minced garlic (3 large cloves)
• 1 cup diced onion (1/2 of a medium-sized onion)
• 1/4 cup of jalapeno juice (from canned jalapenos)
• 1/4 pound of salt pork (I find this near the bacon at my grocery store)
• Salt to taste

1. 1. Rinse and sort your beans
2. 2. First soak the beans. You can either cover the beans with one inch of water and soak overnight or bring water to a boil, remove from heat and cover for one hour.
3. 3. Drain the beans and cover with seven cups of fresh water.
4. 4. Add to the pot the garlic, onion, jalapeno juice and salt pork.
5. 5. Bring pot to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to a simmer, stir occasionally.
6. 6. After about an hour, beans should be tender enough to eat (depending on the freshness of the beans). If not tender enough, continue cooking, checking on the beans every 15 minutes until desired texture.
7. 7. Remove salt pork and serve.
