Recipe Introduction
We had Beans and Hot Dogs every Saturday night at our house.
They'd be served with cottage cheese, beets, a salad
and fresh, warm French bread and butter.
Sometimes Mom used beans from a can but would often make them from scratch using this recipe.
List of Ingredients
2 cups dry navy beans
1 1/2 qts. water
1/4 lb. salt pork, cut in slices or chunks
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
2 tsps. chopped onion
1/2 cup dark molassesRecipe
Soak beans overnight in water to cover.
In the morning, drain beans and add to
1 1/2 qts. water with salt pork and salt.
Simmer until beans are tender...about 1 1/2 hours.
Drain, reserving about half the liquid.
Place beans in a casserole dish.
Combine reserved bean liquid, brown sugar,
mustard, onion and molasses. Pour over beans.
Bake uncovered at 340 degrees for 1 hour or until beans are
lightly browned on top and are of the desired consistency.
