re: Proper "ham" for beans

My FIL, from Lafourche, put me on pickled pork and that's what I've been using for white beans...... he white beans are excellent. I used his recipe and cooked 50lbs, no complaints. Had quite a few people asked how I cooked them.

You use it to help strengthen the ham flavor in the stock or water you are cooking in. You could use any pork product with this but OP was asking about ham with beans

Was just curious. Seems like that jar will be packed with flavor.

Leftover ham from the holidays. I usually make an extra ham to freeze and use throughout the year for red beans and black eye peas.

I use tasso from Ville Platte
