Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 cups dried pea or great northern beans
2 teaspoon salt
2 medium onion, whole and peeled
4 cloves
½ cup molasses
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups water
½ pound salt pork, scored
Directions:
Directions:
Put the beans in a large saucepan and pour in enough cold water to cover then by at least 2-inches. Bring to a boil, let boil for 2 minutes, then let the beans soak in the water off heat for about 1 hour. Bring them to a boil again, add 1 teaspoon salt, half cover the pan and simmer the beans as slowly as possible for about 30 minutes, or until partially done. Drain the beans and discard the bean water.

Preheat oven to 250°F. To bake the beans, choose a traditional 4-quart bean pot or a heavy casserole with a tight-fitting cover. Place 2 onions, each stuck with 2 cloves, in the bottom of the bean pot and cover with the beans. In a small mixing bowl, combine the molasses, ¾ cup of the brown sugar, mustard, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Slowly stirring with a large spoon, pour in the 2 cups of water.

Pour this mixture over the beans and push the salt pork slightly beneath the surface. Cover tightly and bake in the center of the oven for 4 ½ to 5 hours. Then remove the cover and sprinkle with remaining brown sugar. Bake beans uncovered for another 30 minutes and serve.
