COUNTRY LIMAS 
8 oz. dried lima beans (about 1 c.)
1 sm. onion, cut in 1/4" slices
1/2 c. tomato juice
2 tbsp. molasses
1 tbsp. brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp. chili sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
4 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled

Heat beans and enough water to cover, to boiling. Boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 1 hour. Add enough water to beans to cover if necessary. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered, until tender, about 30 minutes. (Do not boil or beans will burst.) Drain beans, reserving liquid. Layer beans and onion in 1 1/2 quart casserole.

Mix tomato juice, molasses, brown sugar, chili sauce, salt and mustard; pour over beans. Add enough reserved bean liquid to cover. Cover and cook in 300 degree oven for 1 hour. Stir in bacon. 7 servings.
