20 Dec – Brenda's down home Southern beans, cranberry pecan bread. (You should serve corn bread.)
If Brenda's uncle comes over for dinner, make sure you serve corn bread.

Soak the beans overnight. (I used navy beans.) Place in crock pot with o 1-2 smoked turkey legs (I used two.)  Add finely chopped onion. No salt (there is enough salt in the the smoked turkey legs). Brenda only puts in some water, she does not cover the beans in water. I was not sure what proportions to use and  covered with water and mine turned out more like soup. I added a bay leaf. When the beans are cooked, stir in 1/2 can tomato paste. SO good.
