Fantastic recipe given to me by a Texas rancher. Pinto or red beans are cooked with pork sausage. Great blend of spices and flavorings and doubly yummy with a little Jamaican rum and sour cream. Easy and the best beans ever to serve as your main dish with cornbread. You can substitute red beans for the pinto beans.

Ingredients

6 cups cold water
2 ¼ cups dried pinto beans
2 tablespoons butter
½ pound bulk pork sausage
2 cups peeled tart apple slices
1 ½ cups tomato juice
1 cup chopped onion
¼ cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, mashed
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon coarse black pepper
¼ cup Jamaican rum
¼ cup sour cream, for topping

Directions

Combine cold water and beans in a pot; let stand 8 hours to overnight.
Stir butter into the pot with the beans and water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until beans are tender, about 2 hours.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir pork sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and reserve 2 tablespoons sausage drippings.
Stir sausage and reserved drippings, apple slices, tomato juice, onion, brown sugar, garlic, salt, chili powder, mustard, and black pepper into beans. Bring bean mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until flavors blend, about 2 hours.
Stir rum into beans, ladle beans into bowls, and top with sour cream.

Cook's Note:

You can bake the beans in a covered, oven-proof pot at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 2 hours instead of simmering, if desired.
