Recipe Notes
Note: In Grandma’s notes, she used 1 pound of dried navy beans, soaked overnight with enough water to cover them by a couple of inches. She put the soaked beans, cooked meat, and remaining ingredients in a slow cooker and cooked on LOW until done—she mentions that for 1 pound of dried navy beans, she did double the other ingredients.

Ramps are similar-looking to a green onion, only the leaves are more broad, they are shorter, and often have some purple coloring on the stem. Often found in April, May, and June, they are more potent in flavor than leeks or scallions, and have a definite garlic flavor. Used in salads, pesto, rice, pasta, and potato dishes.
