[CH] OT: Help a Yankee cook green beans right

Folks,
I'd like to try cooking green beans the right way: for hours, with a
smoked pork product, until they reduce to their yielding bean
essence. Trouble is, I'm a Yankee and have never attempted such a
feat. So my question are: in what approximate ratios are the pork,
beans, and liquid (and other seasonings?) initially? and how long,
really, do these get cooked?
To grasp at staying on-topic, I'm planning to make these for
Christmas dinner, with ham, biscuits (made with lard!), and
chipotle-mashed sweet potatoes. And pie, some kind of pie.
Please respond off-list if that seems more appropriate.
Many thanks,
Margo
