Water bath beans, pick out any that need discarding.

Place in large enough sauce pan so that you can have 1 - 1 1/2 inches of water above beans. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes, turn off and let rest for 30 minutes.

Place entire contents of Sauce Pan in Rice Cooker. Add enough water to cover beans by 1 1/2 inches (depends on how much broth you want).

Every 15 mins stir and check water level. Add Baking Soda after 30 minutes of cooking. After 1 hour add other ingredients.

While beans are cooking brown ham and make ham broth. Cut ham up and add it along with ham broth.
