Ma's baked beans
1 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | pounds | Pea navy beans |
| 1 | cup | White sugar |
| ½ | cup | Syrup or honey |
| ½ | teaspoon | Mustard |
| 1 | Pork \"honk\" | |
| OR | ||
| ¾ | pounds | Salt pork, rinsed |
Directions
In a large pot, cover beans with water and gently simmer about 20 minutes. "Just make them smile, don't make them laugh" Signe says.
You'll know they're ready when you blow on them and the skins peel back slightly. Drain, save the water. Add remaining ingredients, just cover with saved water, and bake slowly, covered, 6-8 hours. Uncover pan the last 3 hours. Add water as necessary.
Many of the recipes in this collection did not contain amounts or oven temperatures. I have typed them in as they appear in the book, typos and all.
