    NEXT DAY... Rinse your beans twice. Then skim most of the fat from the top of the meat broth. You will be using the meat and broth to add to your soaked and rinsed lima beans to this broth. Add a minced onion, 2 tablespoons liquid smoke,and some chopped parsley. Cook on low in the crock pot for about 4-5 hours. A little water or chickn broth can be added,if needed, to keep it moist. Be careful ...you are not making soup!!!....LOL Salt & pepper to taste. This recipe can be cut in half for the average family. Or cook all and freeze some for later. I share with my neighbors...They love all I cook!!!
