| 1. Drain the beans and place in a large saucepan. | 2. Add 7 cups of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. | 3. Reduce the heat to low and add the juice of 1 lemon, the garlic and the salt. | 4. Cover and simmer over low heat (the beans will retain their shape only if cooked slowly) until the beans are soft-- moist but not soupy-- about 12 hours. | 5. You should do this ideally in the crock pot. | 6. Check occasionally and add water if the beans become dry. | 7.
