Steps:
- Add both cans of beans (NOT drained or rinsed) and the 1/2 cup of water to a saucepan and heat over medium/low heat.
- While your beans are heating, add your olive oil, onions, peppers, and garlic to a separate small skillet and heat over medium heat until everything is soft and translucent. (about 5-7 minutes)
- Once your beans are warmed and the vegetables are soft, take a slotted spoon and get a spoonful of beans (let the liquid drain out) and add the spoonful of beans to the skillet with the vegetables. (should be about 1/2 cup of beans but it doesn't need to be exact at all)
- Take the beans and vegetable mixture and press it down as much as possible to make a paste. I use a wooden spoon for this to make it easier. It's ok if not everything is completely smushed but you just want to incorporate the beans and vegetables together as much as possible.
- Once everything is incorporated, take everything from the skillet (beans and vegetables) and add it into the pot with the remaining beans.
- Add the rest of your seasonings to the pot. (Salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, sugar, vinegar.) Stir together and cook on medium/low heat for another 5 minutes and your done!

HOME CANNED CUBAN BLACK BEANS
This is a home canned version of a Cuban Black bean soup. If you want it creamy, you can puree a portion of the beans after canning (when you heat for seving). I adapted this from a traditional Cuban recipe for use in home canning. It is pretty good, I think.

Steps:
- Cut 1 green pepper into 1-inch squares. Smash and peel 4 of the garlic cloves. Put the green pepper and garlic into a large pot with the beans, ham hock, bay leaves and 1 tablespoon salt. Add 2 quarts water and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and simmer until the beans are tender, an hour or more.
- Meanwhile, make a sofrito. Cut the remaining ½ green pepper into ¼-inch dice. Peel and finely chop the remaining garlic. Heat the olive oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the green pepper and onion and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeño (leave out the seeds if you don't want it too spicy), oregano, cumin, black pepper and 2 teaspoons salt and stir for another minute. Pour in the vinegar and scrape any browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. This is your sofrito.
- When the beans are cooked, discard the bay leaf. Remove and set aside the ham hock and let it cool. Transfer 1 cup of beans to small bowl, mash them into a paste with the back of a fork and return to the pot. Add the sofrito, then the sugar. Pull the meat from the ham hock, leaving behind any white sinew or gristle. Chop the ham into ½-inch pieces and return it to the bean pot.
- Stir the beans well and bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes or so, skimming any foam from the top. Taste for salt and serve with white rice.
