  • 8 cups Water

Method

Soak the beans in the water overnight. Place in a large soup pot and simmer until just soft (about one hour). Drain. Place in a large casserole dish (that has a lid). Mix together the sugar, salt, mustard, and molasses. Pour over the beans. Stir in the pork. Add enough water to cover. Place the lid on and bake at 350 for three hours. Remove the lid (add warm water if the beans are beginning to dry out) and bake for 45 minutes longer uncovered.

 

Notes: Making this long-cooking dish from scratch is worth the wait.
