Ingredients
- 2 cups dried navy beans wished, picked through, and soaked overnight
- 1 white onion diced
- 4 tbsp molasses
- 4 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- salt & pepper to taste

- 2 cups apple cider brought to a boil
Instructions
- Add beans to the bowl of your slow cooker.

- Stir, and remove any bones and the bay leaf. Serve immediately.
Notes
Don't have any ham bones handy? You can sub in several strips of thick cut bacon. You could also add in regular diced ham if wanted. It's just about getting the meat in some form in there to infuse the beans with the flavor.
