--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      Cups          Brown beans -- dried **
     1/2  Cup           White Distilled Vinegar
     1/2  Cup           Corn syrup -- dark
   3      Tablespoons   Brown sugar -- packed
   2      Tablespoons   Butter -- melted
   1      Each          Cinnamon stick -- small
   1 1/2  Teaspoons     Salt
   6      Cups          Water

    Pick over and rinse the beans.  Add the water and soak the
beans at least 12 hours.  Bring the beans and soaking water to a boil.  Cover
the pan and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.   Add the salt, vinegar, syrup, brown sugar

the beans are tender.  The liquid should be as thick as a sauce at the end of
the cooking period.  If the liquid is not thickened, turn up the heat for 10
minutes, or until the
liquid is reduced.  Remove the cinnamon stick.  Serve hot.  ** The beans used i
