Directions

  1. Soak the beans in the water overnight. The next morning, take the hull off beans. Place beans in a saucepan and add water to cover. Do not add seasoning. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook until beans are very tender, about 1 hour. Drain, when they have cooled slightly, mash beans.

  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. Combine sugar, flour, butter, vanilla, eggs, and salt. Mix well. Stir in mashed beans, add cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cream.

  4. Pour into a pie shell. Bake until a knife inserted near the center of the pie comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving. Store pie in refrigerator.
