2 qt. bean pot
2 lb. beans (California pea beans preferred, or York State beans)
1 lb. salt pork
8 tbsp. sugar
2/3 c. molasses
2 tsp. dry mustard
4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 med. size onion

Soak beans overnight. In morning parboil them for ten minutes with a teaspoon of baking soda. Then run cold water through the beans in a colander or strainer. Dice rind of salt pork in inch squares, cut in half. Put half on bottom of bean pot with whole onion. Put beans in pot. Put the rest of the pork on top. Mix other ingredients with hot water. Pour over beans. Put in 300 degree oven for six hours.

Add water as needed, to keep beans moist. Serves 10 full portions.
