  7. Put half of the salt pork on the bottom of the bean pot, along with the onion.
  8. Put beans in the pot.

  12. Bake for 6 hours.
  13. Check pot periodically to make sure the amount of liquid is okay.
  14. Add water to the beans slowly as needed to keep them moist; DO NOT FLOOD THEM. Just top them up .
  15. Remove the pot from the oven and serve.
  16. NOTE: The Durgin-Park, a Boston restaurant whose origins date back to the American Revolution, is famous for its Boston baked beans, baked Indian pudding and apple pan dowdy. Durgin-Park cook Tommy Ryan has prepared this recipe at the restaurant for the past 37 years.
