Step 1

Soak the beans overnight. Drain, rinse, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, and then simmer until husks curl when you blow on them. Drain and rinse with hot water. Pour half of the beans into the crock-pot. Sprinkle with half of the chopped onion, and dot with half of the butter. In a measuring cup, combine the brown sugar, salt, and spices. Add molasses to the 1/2 cup mark. Add hot water to the 1 cup mark. Stir mixture to combine, and then pour over the beans in the crock-pot. Add the rest of the beans, and cook for 7-8 hours. Remove the lid and cook another hour.
