Directions:
Pick over beans, cover with cold water, soak overnight. Drain. Cover with fresh water, heat slowly(keeping water below boiling point); cook until skins will burst--determined by taking a few beans on the tip of spoon and blowing on them. The skins will burst if beans are sufficiently cooked.
Drain reserving cooking water. Scald pork & scrape, remove 1/4 in. slice, and put in bottom of a
2 qt. bean pot. Cut through the rind of remaining pork every half inch making cuts 1" deep. Put beans in pot & bury pork in beans, leaving rind exposed. Boil reserve water; add 1 cup to salt & molasses mixed together. Pour over beans and sugar. Add enough water to cover beans. Cover bean pot and bake 6 to 8 hours in slow oven(225F.)
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Instructions cont'd. Add water as needed.Uncover the last hour of cooking, so that rind may become brown & crisp..If pork mixed with lean is preferred use less salt.(Note: Use less molasses if beans are liked less sweet and add 1/8 tsp. of ginger if liked.)
