After many attempts at trying to duplicate mom's black beans, I finally asked Tia Carmen how she makes her black beans. After I made them, I was ecstatic because they were the closest I'd ever come to mom's recipe. I'm so glad I got to ask her for it. Although does not exactly taste like mom's, it truly is a family favorite.
