I haven't tried this yet, but it looks tasty. Do not use country ham (it is too salty).

1 slice cooked spiral cut ham, cubed
1/4 cup butter
1 medium onion, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh parsley
Directions:
1. Rinse beans in hot water until they are white.
2. Place beans in stockpot, add water and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 hours.
4. Heat butter in small skillet over medium heat.
5. Add onion to butter and saute until lightly brown, then add to pot of beans.
