  1. Soak beans in cold water overnight (at least 12 hours).
  2. The next day, drain the beans through a colander, rinse and put into a pot.
  3. Peel the onion, pierce with bay leaf and cloves and add to the pot with the beans.
  4. Peel the garlic and add to the pot. Rinse marjoram and shake dry. Add marjoram, ham bone and 3 liters (approximately 12 cups) of water to the pot.
