Steps to make Easy Homemade Sweetened White Bean Paste with Lima Beans!:
- Rinse the baby lima beans and soak in water in a big pot overnight. They double in size.
- Discard floating skins in the water and peel the skins of the beans.
- Bring to a boil over a high heat. Add water and bring back to a boil. Drain in a colander and discard the water.
- Return the beans to the pot and cover with fresh water. Simmer over low heat slowly until the beans lose their shape.
- After simmering, mash with a masher and pass through a sieve over a big bowl.
- Stir gently and leave to stand. Let the mashed beans settle at the bottom and discard the layer of liquid on top.
- Repeat this process until the top layer of liquid is clear. After this, pour over the content onto a tea towel. Squeeze and drain the excess moisture very well. You'll have white bean paste in the tea towel.
- Put the white bean paste into a medium sized pan and add half of the sugar and salt. Put on low heat and stir constantly.
- After the sugar dissolves, add the rest of the sugar. Scrape the bottom of the pan and stir constantly until thick and shiny.
- When you scoop with a spatula, drop it, and the paste stands, remove from heat.
- Put the bean paste into an air-tight container or resealable bag to chill or freeze.
I'm heating it over a boiling pan of water. Recipe never mentions crushing up the beans, and doing as written would result in beans in a sugar base, not paste. I beat the beans and sugar together and then cooked it down in a saucepan. It never quite got to a "paste" consistency, perhaps because I strained it(the photo shows no bean skins, but recipe never mentions this part either). Traditionally, the white bean paste is made from scratch with a base of lima beans, sugar, water, and a dash of salt.
