Sort and wash beans well in cold water, removing any stones. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large kettle (having a tight fitting lid). Stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a slow boil. Add ham hocks, cover and cook on low heat for approximately 8 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove ham hocks when very tender, usually 3 - 3 1/2 hours. Let cool. Strip meat from bones, being careful to remove all fat. Add ham to beans and continue cooking until water is absorbed and beans are tender.
