Personal comment: I grew up not far away from the Pennsylvania Dutch and
just down the road a piece from Valley Forge Park and so I was thrilled
when I found these recipes. I hope someone else out there will also be
interested...

Put the navy beans in lukewarm water for 12 hours. Place the pork or bacon
in the bottom of a pot and put in beans, leeks, cloves, salt and pepper.
Then scorch the flour with the butter in a hot pan, add some of the bean
stock and put the mixture in the pot with the beans to boil until beans are
tender. Boil the potatoes separately, dice, and add just before serving
hot.
