Boston Baked Beans 2 c Dried navy beans, picked ove and rinsed
3/4 lb Salt pork
1/2 c Molasses
1/2 ts Dry mustard (english style)
1/4 ts Paprika
1 ts Onion, grated
In a bowl, combine the beans with 4 cups cold water and let them soak
overnight. Drain, reserving any remaining liquid. Transfer them to a
small heavy kettle, and add fresh water to cover. Simmer, covered,
for 60 minutes. Drain in a colander, reserving the cooking liquid
and combining it with the soaking liquid.
To the kettle, add a quarter lb. piece of salt pork and the beans and
bury the remaining piece of pork, well scored, in the center of the
beans. In a small bowl, stir together the molasses, 1/2 cup of bean
liquid, mustard, paprika, and onion. Pour the mixture over the beans
and stir in.
Bake the beans, covered, in the middle of a preheated 300f oven for 5
hours, stirring in some of the bean liquid at hourly intervals as
necessary to keep the beans just barely covered. Remove lid and cook
uncovered for 1 more hour. Boston Baked Beans printer friendly version located here.
