Black Beans for Desserts

Black Beans for Desserts

2 cups dried black beans*
Water for soaking
Water for cooking
1 bay leaf

Place two cups of dried black beans in a large bowl. Cover with water and soak overnight.

Drain beans.

Place beans in a 3-quart sauce pan and cover with water, approximately 4-6 cups. Add bay leaf.

Bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the top.

Lower heat to a simmer. Cook until beans are soft but not mushy, approximately 60 minutes. Remove bay leaf and discard.

Cool completely. Store in the refrigerator.

* This will make more than you need for most dessert recipes, but I just use the leftovers in dinner or for lunch that day.

NOTE: I use organic ingredients whenever possible, so I rarely use the word in my ingredients list.
