San Fernando Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb dried kidney beans or 1 lb red beans
    1/2 lb bulk pork sausage (I use extra mild, but to your taste)
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    2 cups apples, sliced (delicious is good, but could use tarter apples too)
    4 medium onions, sliced
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 1/2 cups tomato juice
    2 teaspoons worcestershire powder (or sauce if can't find powder)
    3 teaspoons salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon chili powder (I use scant 1/4)
Preparation
    Wash beans and soak overnight in cold water.
    In the same water, bring to hard boil.
    Cover and simmer, 1 - 2 hours.
    Drain beans and keep warm.
    Combine all rest of ingredients in pan and mix thoroughly (you don't have to precook anything). Bring to a hard boil.
    Mix in drained beans and simmer for 2 hours with a tight fitting lid.
