How to Make Barbecue Limas
- Place 1 pound dried lima beans in a large soup pot with a 1-pound ham bone or hock.
- Add 3 cups of water and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat, cover the pot, and let stand for 1 hour.
- Drain the beans, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained beans, reserved liquid, and the remaining ingredients (see below).
- Transfer the mixture to a 2.5-quart casserole dish.
- Bake uncovered at 300°F (150°C) for 2 hours and 25 minutes, adding more reserved liquid or water if the mixture becomes too dry. Uncover during the last 30 minutes of baking to allow for browning and thickening.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
