This dish was a staple in the Hitch home and remained as one of daughter Edna’s favorite meals, especially when served with fresh green onions and cornbread.
Mom Hitch “hams” it up by posing with two pig’s feet.
Wash 2 cups Great White Northern beans. Place beans in a large pot with 6 cups water. (Edna cooked celery top with the stock to season.) Cook on medium heat for approximately 3 hours. Do not let the water cook away – add water, if necessary. One half hour before serving, season with bacon and salt to taste.
