Wash beans; soak overnight in a large bowl with plenty of water. Next day
drain; place beans in a large pot in fresh water and bring to a boiling
point. Add 1 tablespoon baking soda. Stir for a few minutes. Drain in
colander. Rinse pot and return beans to pot with fresh water. Bring to a
boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until tender. Add 1 tablespoon salt
and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Drain; retain water. In a large
casserole mix beans, Karo syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, cut or sliced up salt pork and
minced Maui onions. Bake in slow oven (275300 degrees) for about 3 hours
or longer. Add retained water, as needed. Absolutely fabulous beans!
