Directions:
Sort and soak beans; drain. Add 8 cups fresh water along with ham hocks and pickled pork (meat can be cooked separately but save the liquid). Cook beans, celery, onions, green pepper, garlic and bay leaves over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or pressure cook about 35 minutes, using enough water to cover beans. Remove from the bones and discard bones. Put meat and beans in same pot if they have been cooked separately. Add pinch of baking of baking soda to kill gas in beans. Add liquid from meat (if cooked separately). Add parsley and smoked sausage and cook at least 20 minutes. Test and taste seasonings and doneness. Serve over cooked rice. Makes 20 servings.
