Tsubu-an From Canned Azuki

Drain the canned Azuki Beans and taste a few beans. I often notice unpleasant bitterness. In that case, cook the beans in boiling water for a few minutes, then drain.

Place drained Azuki Beans in a saucepan, add Sugar and Salt. Bring to the simmer over medium low heat, and cook, occasionally stirring with a wooden spoon, until thick and paste like texture is achieved.
