Put beans in medium bowl. Add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Let soak for at least 4 hours or overnight.
In another medium bowl, combine mustard seeds and vinegar and let soak at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
Drain beans. Place in heavy saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, about 50 minutes. Drain. Cool beans completely.
