re: What do I do with butter beans?

This is my grandpas recipe for any dry beans.

1 lb dry beans
1/2 small onion diced finely
1/2 stick crisco
1/2 pound pickled pork or salt meat
Salt and pepper

Put your beans in the pot and cover with water. Bring them to a boil. When they start to foam dump them out and rinse them off. Return to the pot and bring them back to a boil. Add the rest of you jngredients and cook till they are the consistnecy that you like them.

Thats how I do them. I cooked probably 200 pounds for different funtions using that recipe with zero complaints
