Soak beans in water overnight. Drain and put all ingredients in cooker. Add 1 cup water and stir to blend. Cover and cook on low 10 to dozen hours.
Can also spice it up with a few cloves of garlic, a half teaspoon of powdered ginger, and a good dash of worchestershire sauce. As an option, stir in 1 cup drained pineapple chuncks during the last hour of cooking for a delicious fruity flavor.
