Here is how you make Old Fashioned Beans from Scratch:

Plan ahead! You can use navy beans, white beans, pinto beans. I used dried cranberry beans. They're a pretty pink color! Rinse them and sort through them. Place them in a large pot and add your 8 cups of cold water. Cover, and let sit OVERNIGHT.The next day, drain beans in a colander and rinse well. Rinse pot out, and put beans back into the pot. Add 6 cups cold water, carrots, celery, onions, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and bay leaf. Bring up to a boil, and then immediatley turn heat down to a low simmer and simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Keep the lid tilted on the pot, and check it every 15 - 20 minutes or so, and give it a good stir. Check the fluid level after about an hour. If you need to add a bit more water, add it 1/2 a cup at a time. Add the cayenne pepper, salt, and sugar towards the end of the cooking time. The "gravy" the beans make will thicken considerably. This is delicious over hot rice, quinoa, or potatoes!Serving Size: Makes 4 - 2 cup servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LIVEDAILY.
