Large lima beans with ham bone recipe Ingredients: 2 lbs dry large lima beans 1 ham slice 12 cups chicken broth 2 TBS butter 1 tsp parsley flakes 1 tsp black pepper Directions: In a large pot, turn the heat on high and add the butter and the ham.  Sear the ham on both sides for 4 minutes, then remove it from the pot. Add the chicken broth to the pot along with the pepper and parsley. Cut the ham into small chunks and add it back to the pot(including the bone). Wash the lima beans in hot water and add them to the pot. Cover the pot and cook on medium heat for two hours, stir it every 30 minutes. If the juice drops below the beans, add more broth or water.  Once the beans are completely soft, they're done. The white of the beans should be completely yellow. Add salt to taste. If it's too salty, remove some of the broth and replace it with water. This goes great with white rice!! ENJOY!!
