Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a med large cooking pot with lid, and bring to a boil.
  2. Turn down and simmer over low heat, being careful to stir frequently to prevent burning. This can take 1-2 hours. (You can process in a “Hot Pot” or pressure cooker and cut the process down to about 30 minutes.)
