Instructions

1. Put the red beans in a pot with 4-5 cups of water, boil for 5 minutes, then drain off the water.
2. In a clean pot, add the beans and 4-5 cups of water, cover, and simmer on low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, adding more water to keep the beans covered, until they are very soft and crush easily between your fingers.
3. Drain the water again, return the soft beans to the pot with the sugar, and stir constantly over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, until a shiny but still loose paste forms.
4. Transfer the paste to a container right away.
