This is a tradition in our household at Christmas. Goes great with ham. Ingredients:
1 lb dried lima beans |
3 teaspoons salt |
3/4 cup butter (butter is best, but often i use half butter and half oleo) or 3/4 cup oleo (butter is best, but often i use half butter and half oleo) |
1/2 cup dark brown sugar |
1 teaspoon dry mustard |
1 tablespoon molasses |
1 cup sour cream |
Directions:
1. Soak Beans overnight, with plenty of water above the beans. They soak it up!
2. In the morning, drain the beans, cover with water, add 1 tsp salt and cook until slightly tender - 20-30 minutes. However, you must watch these babies, because they have a big tendency to boil over!Just bring them to a boil (watching them), then lower the heat - and still watch them!
3. After the beans are cooked, drain again and rinse them under hot water, and place them in a lightly sprayed or greased (oleo) casserole dish.
4. Dab Butter over beans; mix lightly ! or they get squishy.
5. Stir in Molasses.
6. Finally, pour in sour cream and mix tenderly .
7. Bake at 350 for one hour. (again, keep an eye on them, I don't think I usually bake them for and entire hour).
