    1 pound California small white beans
    1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
    1/2 cup celery with leaves, finely chopped
    1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
    1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 16-ounce can tomato sauce or 6 large fresh tomatoes chopped and stewed for 1 hour
    1/4 cup dark brown sugar
    1/4 cup thick molasses
    1 tablespoon dry mustard
    3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    chicken, veal, or pork stock (optional)

    Recipe



    Wash beans, place in large pot and cover with cool water, boil for 5 minutes, and remove from heat; let sit for 1 hour with tight lid. In cast-iron skillet, sauté onions, celery, bell pepper, and garlic in olive oil on a high flame for 4 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add tomato sauce, sugar, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cloves, and simmer for 30 minutes. Pour off water from beans and replace with 3 1/2 cups (approximately) fresh cool water or meat stock. Add bay leaves, salt, pepper, and thyme. Let simmer, covered, until beans are tender. Sauté bacon cubes; drain. Drain liquid from beans and reserve. Combine beans and tomato sauce in Dutch oven or bean pot. Top with bacon and bake in 300-degree oven for 3 to 5 hours. Stir beans now and then, adding reserved liquid when needed.

    Serves 6 to 8.
