Ingredients: 2 pounds dry beans, California pea beans preferred or York State beans 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 pound salt pork 1 medium-size onion 8 tablespoons sugar 2/3 cup molasses 2 teaspoons dry mustard 4 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper Directions: Soak beans overnight. In morning, parboil them for ten minutes with a teaspoon of baking soda. Then run cold water through the beans in a colander or strainer. Dice rind of salt port in one half inch squares. Put half on bottom of bean pot with the whole peeled onion. Add beans, and then the rest of the pork on top. Mix other ingredients with hot water. Pour over beans. Put in 300-degrees oven for six hours. You cannot let the pot just set in the oven. You have to add water as necessary to keep the beans moist. Do not add too much water at a time, as this will flood the beans. |
