Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Salt pork - similar to bacon but saltier and not cured/smoked. Used to flavor beans, greens, and other southern dishes. Really adds to flavor. Found in the pork section of meat market-not next to packaged bacon.

If you have hard water, use bottled or distilled water to cook any beans.
