It’s the normal 1 pound bag of dried beans…which once soaked over night really do plump up – and fill the ‘old fashioned bean jar’ that I have always used to cook them in – which you can still find around in flea markets – best way – they stay moist and not dry up in those old ceramic oven-proof bean jars…. no lid? simply use a ‘made up’ layer folded over a few times of tin foil to use as a lid…

Yes – excellent – that is exactly what my own mother taught me – and thanks for pointing that tip to all my readers…in learning when those beans are cooked…
