Nothing tastes as good as making it yourself !!!
1 1/4 cup dried pink or pinto beans - 1/2 lb rinsed and picked over
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lard or oil
In a two quart saucepan, bring the beans and water to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for two hours or until beans are very tender, adding more water if necessary. Stir in salt.
In a medium skillet, heat a little lard over low heat. Add some beans and a large spoonful of bean liquid, mashing beans and fat into a thick, smooth paste. Repeat working in more lard, beans, and liquid until all are used up and beans are smooth. If necessary, add more liquid for good spreading consistency.
Makes about 3 cups. Keeps in the refrigerator about 2 weeks.
