I put them on again for another 3 hours this morning. When I took them out
they was a fair amount of liquid. I didn't want to throw it out, nor did I
want to continue cooking them, so I put them into a saucepan and reduced
the water on the hob.

They are ok. I don't know if I would make them again because it takes such
a long time. I have frozen mine in portions until I decide how to use them.
