Recipe - Home-Baked Beans

1 pt Navy beans
One fourth pound Salt pork
1 teaspoon Mustard, dry
1 One half teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Molasses
One half cup Water, boiling
1 One half tablespoon Sugar

Cover beans with cold water and soak over night. Change the water and cook
at slightly below boiling point until skins burst. To test beans, take a
few and expose them to cold air; if shells burst, they are sufficiently
cooked. Drain off the water and add the salt pork which has been cut into
strips. Put in bean pot, having some of the salt pork slices on top. Mix
the mustard, sugar, salt, and molasses together and add to the beans. Add
the boiling water. Cover pot and bake at 250F about 6 hours, removing the
cover during the last hour. Source: Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book Fine Old
