Method

Pick over beans, discarding any shriveled ones or foreign particles. Wash well and soak overnight in water, to cover generously.
Drain beans, rinse in fresh water, and drain again. Place in a kettle, with water included in A. Bring rapidly to a boil. Reduce heat to moderate, cover, and cook about 45 minutes.
