1 can Van Camp's pork & beans (1 lb. 15 oz. size)
1 c. ketchup
1 c. brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp. prepared mustard
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 c. light Karo syrup
1 sm. onion (opt.)
3 dashes ground ginger

Pour beans into skillet. Add other ingredients, stirring after each addition. Bring to a slow boil on medium heat. Turn heat to low or simmer. Cook until candied around the edges of the skillet, 30 to 45 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Serves 6 to 8 people.
