Instructions

  1. Add the ham bone, juices and trimmings to 2.5 pints of water and bring to a boil, then simmer, covered for 2 hours. Pour the stock through a sieve into a container, a large mason jar is a good choice. Place this stock into the refrigerator once it has cooled. Strip any meat off the bone, finely chop it and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  2. Rinse the dried beans under cold water and soak them in a pot of cold water with enough salt to make the water pleasantly salty. Refrigerate the beans and do not exceed 24 hours of soaking. The following day, pour off the soaking water. 
  3. Peel and chop the onion finely.
  4. Remove the disc of fat on top of the ham stock and place it in a pot. Melt it over a medium heat and when hot (test it with a small piece of onion and when it sizzles it is hot), add the chopped onions and sauté.
  5. When the onions are golden brown, add the ham stock.
  6. Then add the soaked beans. Cook them in the broth until tender, check them after 1 hour.
  7. As the beans are cooking, add the garlic powder, tomato sauce and maple syrup.
  8. Stir well and continue cooking the beans with the lid off. This will help reduce (water evaporates) the liquid and make the sauce thicker.
  9. After reducing the liquid, the sauce will get browner, due to the sugar in the sauce caramelizing. Add the frozen beans once the dried beans are tender.
  10. Add canned beans, chopped ham meat and stir well. Bring to a gentle boil and serve immediately.

Notes
