Instructions: 1 . If using dried beans, pick over for stones, rinse, and soak overnight in water to cover; or bring to a boil, remove from the heat, and soak for 1-2 hours. After the beans have soaked, drain and cook until tender in 2-3 gallons of water for 30-45 minutes. Drain. (6 to 7 qts cook and drained; or 2 #10 cans; or 9 to 10 lbs.)

2. While the beans cook, saute the onions and garlic in oil until the onions aretranslucent.

3. Stir in the ginger, thyme, and allspice and continue sauteing until the onions are very soft. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.

4. Pour the beans into an insert pan, adding the orange juice, onions, salt, pepper, and Tabasco.
