I tried adding a ham hock for the first time. It made my beans turn dark. Is this normal?

In reply to JBMW. You want authentic flavor, use tasso. Google up some recipes; it's not hard to make, but you can also find ready-made for delivery as well.

What is your choice of meat and why? If you use ham hocks, how do you prepare them and how many do you need?

You’re just looking for foreign objects like small pea size pieces of dirt or a stone. Yes, really. The floating beans or split beans are no problem, they just cook down. And as the beans become tender you take that large cooking spoon and mash some against the side of the pot to make them creamy you’ll never know which ones were which. Enjoy!!!

In reply to Frances. Frances, Leave the split and floating beans, they break down and make the thick gravy in the red beans

When sorting the red beans, I have a problem determining what I am looking for other than foreign objects. Floating beans or split beans seem to be the ones my momma picked out but that was long ago. What is best?
