Recipe - Indianaston Baked Beans (Synthesis)

500 g Dry navy beans
1 lg Onion; roughly chopped
300 g Smoked belly of pork
6 tablespoon Maple Syrup
80 ml Molasses
1 One half teaspoon Dry mustard
1 One half teaspoon Ground ginger
2 teaspoon Salt
One fourth teaspoon Black pepper
Hot water

Soak beans overnight in a saucepan. In the morning, add more water if
necessary to cover, and parboil beans for 10 minutes. Then run cold water
through beans in a colander or strainer. Cut pork jowl in oneinch cubes,
leaving skin on. The quantity of the pork may be decreased if desired
without affecting flavour.

Put the chopped onions with half of the cubed pork on the bottom of the
bean pot (a traditional stoneware 23 quart pot is perfect). Put beans in
pot and cover with the rest of the pork. Mix other ingredients with hot
water and pour over the beans. Add enough water to make level with the
beans. Bake in a 300 F. oven for 6 hours, adding water from time to time if
necessary to prevent the beans from drying out.
