Step 1 - Check Beans

Making Ham and Lima Beans

1. Check Beans

You need to check all beans for foreign debris. You are looking for bad beans, rocks and other debris. Put a few beans at a time in a white colored bowl to check anything needing to discarded. As we check each small group we then put it into a colander for washing. We used a 1 pound package of small lima beans and a 1 pound package of large lima beans. You could just use 1 package of either. It's no more work to do 2 pounds and can the excess for later use. If you use just 1 pound cut the rest of the ingredients in half.
