Maple baked beans

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Dried Navy pea beans or yellow eye beans (2 cups)
6 cups Cold water
1 teaspoon Salt
¼ pounds Salt pork
1 medium Onion, peeled
2 teaspoons Dried mustard
¼ cup Molasses
cup Brown sugar
cup Maple syrup

Directions

Wash beans and add cold water. Cover and let soak overnight. Add salt to beans and liquid and simmer gently until tender, about 1 hour. Drain, reserve liquid. Measure 1-¾ cup bean liquid, add water if necessary. Cut a slice from the salt pork and place in the bottom of the bean pot. Add beans; place the onion in center of the beans. Mix mustard, sugar, molasses, and maple syrup with bean liquid; pour over beans. Cut 3 gashes in the remaining salt pork, and place on top of the beans. Rind side up. Cover and bake 5 to 7 hours in a 300oF oven, adding more water as needed. Remove cover from bean pot the last half hour so pork rind will brown and become crisp.

Makes 6 servings.
