2 1/2 cups dried small white beans

Angostura bitters has a slight clove scent. Angostura bitters is generally

used in making cocktails, but can be added to sauces with a strong flavor,

such as mustard sauce.

 

Place beans in a bowl, cover with water and soak overnight. Cover and cook

on high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

 

In a colander, drain beans, rinse and add to the slow cooker with 1 quart

water. Heat butter in a skillet on medium-high heat and sauté onions until

translucent.

 

Add sautéed onions to slow cooker with salt, pepper and bay leaf. Cook on

low heat for 4 to 6 hours or until beans are tender. Add angostura bitters

and ketchup about 30 minutes before serving. Remove bay leaf before

serving. Taste and adjust seasonings.
