Simple Pintos

1 1/2 cups dried pinto beans, picked through and rinsed.
pork fat (salt pork or bacon or fat from country ham... guess what I used)
1 tsp salt
Water to cover well

Throw everything in a pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for ~2 hours, until the beans are tender.

I normally add a bunch of other stuff to beans when I make them, but I forced myself to not do so this time. The results are really, really good. The ham fat really adds a great flavor to the beans.
