Ingredients

1	pound	beans	black, turtle, pink, or pinto
10	cups	water	hot
1/4	cup	onion	roughly
2	tablespoons	lard
1	tablespoon	salt	or to taste
2	large	epazote	sprigs, only if black beans are used

Directions

*Pinto or pink beans will need 12 to 14 cups water Rinse the beans and run them through your hands to make sure that there are no small stones or bits of earth among them.

Put the beans into the pot and cover them with the hot water.

Add the onion and lard and bring to a boil.

As soon as the beans come to a boil, lower the flame and let them barely simmer, covered, for about 3 hours for black beans and 2-1/2 hours for the other varieties, or until they are tender, but not soft.

Do not stir during this time.

Add the salt and epazote, if you are using it, and simmer for another 30 minutes.

Set aside, preferably until the next day. There should be plenty of soupy liquid.

Jello Cake

For the past twenty plus Christmases this cake made as a layer cake with red jello (half pkg) and green jello (half pkg) --one color per layer--has been my children's favorite for our "Birthday Cake for Baby Jesus". It is a nice change from many heavy desserts at Christmas.
