 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       lb           Dry Pinto Beans -- soaked
                       Overnight
  1       lg           Ham Hocks
  3                    Jalepeno Peppers -- to
                       Taste
  1       qt           Tomatoes, Canned
  5                    Garlic Cloves -- to taste
  2       md           Onions -- finely chopped
  1       tb           Salt -- to taste
  2       tb           Chili Powder
  1       t            Oregano
  1       t            Summer Savory
  2       tb           Sugar
  1                    Stalk Celery

 Soak the pinto beans in water overnight, or about 6-8
 hours. Drain the water
 and rinse the beans well.

 Simmer the ham hock for about 2 hours in enough water
 to cover; about 2 quarts. (You could also use a pound
 of side pork or slab bacon cut into 1 inch chunks.)
 Remove the meat from the hock and return it to the
 cooking pot.
 Add the pre-soaked and rinsed beans to the pot, along
 with the rest of the ingredients. Add enough water or
 tomato juice to bring the level to about 4 1/2 quarts
 total volume. Cover and simmer for about 4 hours, or
 longer if you
 have a slow cooker. Watch the liquid level while
 cooking so the beans don't get too dry.

 Adjust the hot peppers to suit your taste.
