Recipe - Mystic Baked Beans

1 pound Navy beans, dried
2 cup Water
2 teaspoon Dry mustard
Pepper to taste
3 Onions, peeled & quartered
One fourth cup Brown sugar
One fourth cup Molasses
2 tablespoon Sweet pickle juice
1/3 pound Salt pork, cubed

Soak beans overnight in water to cover. Pour beans into large pot, and add
remaining ingredients except salt pork. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and
simmer 1 to 2 hours till beans are tender. Place salt pork in a bean pot or
a crockpot. Pour beans and liquid over. If using a bean pot, cook in the
oven at 250 for ten hours. If using a crockpot, cook on LOW for 8 to 12
hours. Beans should be dark and sticky, but still somewhat liquid, when
done. Great Northern beans may be used instead of navy or pea beans. Keep
some additional brown sugar/molasses/water on hand if needed to keep beans
wet while cooking. Recipe may be doubled, but use a little less liquid.
SMOKE 'N' BEANS

For a lower fat (and in my case, kosher) alternative, use about One half pound
of smoked turkey (the real stuff, not the deli variety) cubed in small bits
instead of the salt pork. You will need to add a little salt, about 1
teaspoon. The flavor is excellent, without all the fat and pork...
