Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package dry kidney beans

  • 2 teaspoons salt, divided

  • 3 ½ (6 ounce) cans tomato paste

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal

  • ½ teaspoon hot paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  1. Place kidney beans in a large saucepan. Cover with water and soak for 8 hours, or overnight.

  2. Drain water from kidney beans. Pour in fresh water to cover by 1-inch; add 1 teaspoon salt.

  3. Cook beans over low heat for 2 hours. Remove from heat; drain excess water from pan until it just covers beans.
