*HUGS*
Thanks for your suggestions for soup.I love dried lima beans..I have been searching for recipes to juice it up (and instructions)
You could use your hambone for limas, too. Just drop it in a pot of water, add the bone and a chopped onion, salt and pepper, maybe a teaspoon of baking soda to help cut down on the after-effects. Course, that’s a lot of beans for one person so you might want to consider inviting friends over. :) Have you tried the flash frozen beans? They taste awesome, and you can take out what you need and put the rest back in the freezer. Plus, they cook faster than dried. Pict-sweet is the variety we use.
My crowd likes to put crushed red pepper in their beans. Either that or they add hot pepper vinegar at the table. I just like to crumble my cornbread up in mine!
