Review by: CrabbyDeliciousI simmered these with country ham chunks for a couple of hours, and they turned out plump, juicy, and delicious. They are like pinto beans but larger and more substantial. These cranberry beans are now one of my favorite beans.

Review by: CrabbyHearty, tasty beansI soaked these cranberry beans overnight and then cooked them low and slow in a dutch oven with some country ham chunks for seasoning, just as I would cook pinto beans. They are similar in flavor to pintos, but much fatter, juicier, and richer. I liked them so much I didn't even make rice to eat with them like I usually do with beans. I just ate them by the bowlful. These make a great meal.

Cranberry Beans
Easy to Prepare — a little makes a lot
- First, sort beans for any foreign matter and then rinse. Some cooks like to do a preliminary soak by soaking beans in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- After optional soaking drain and rinse beans.
- Next, place beans in a pot, cover with sufficient water, and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, adding water as needed. Simmer time will vary depending on soak time and size of bean.
- Alternatively, some cooks prefer to use crock pot techniques.
- Note: As with any supply of dry natural beans, this product may contain small pebbles, so please remember to sort your beans first.
Yield — 1 cup weighs about 1/2 pound. 2 cups of dry beans equals about 5-6 cups cooked beans.
Storage — Best if used within 24 months. Store tightly sealed in a dry location away from sunlight.
