Purely American - Colonial Virginia Country Style Bean Soup - A robust soup to celebrate America's favorite ham.
During the early 1600's, the local native Indians taught the Jamestown colonists the secret method of curing the famous Virginia country ham. The distinctive flavor is created by the use of flaked salt, heavy molasses, course ground pepper, and the smoke from slow burning hickory and apple woods in a critical series of time honored steps.
This lengthy process, which may take up to 12 months to complete, makes hams from Southeastern Virginia a truly American tradition.

Ingredients: 9 assorted beans and peas with herbs and spices.
