Soak beans in water overnight. Drain and put all ingredients in cooker.

Add 1 cup water and stir to blend.

Cover and cook on low 10 to 12 hours.

Can also spice it up with a few cloves of garlic, a half teaspoon of powdered ginger, and a good dash of Worcestershire sauce. As an option, stir in 1 cup drained pineapple chunks during the last hour of cooking for a delicious fruity flavor.
