Ingredients:

  • 16 oz (2 cups) dry navy beans
  • 2 quarts cold water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 4 oz salt pork
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Directions:

  1. 1) Rinse beans; add to water in saucepan.
  2. Bring to boiling and simmer 2 minutes; remove from heat. Cover; let stand 1 hour. (Or add beans to cold water; soak overnight.)
  3. 2) Add salt to beans and water; cover and simmer till beans are tender, about 1 hour. Drain, reserving liquid.
  4. 3) Measure 2 cups liquid, adding water if needed; mix with molasses, brown sugar, and mustard.
  5. 4) Cut salt pork in half; score one half. Grind or thinly slice remainder. In 2-quart bean pot or casserole (I prefer the bean pot), 5) combine beans, onion and ground salt pork. Pour molasses mixture over. Top with scored pork.
  6. 6) Cover; bake in 300 oven for 5 to 7 hours. Add more liquid if needed.
  7. Makes 8 servings.
