Ingredients

1 package great northern beans
1 lb salt pork, cut in half
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp brown sugar
2 large tsp molasses
Dash of Pepper

Directions

Prepare the night before: Cover beans with water and soak overnight.

Put in a large kettle and add more water (about 3 inches above beans)

Add salt pork and chopped onion. Cook over medium heat until beans are tender, about 1½ to 2 hours. Remove salt pork.

Stir in dry mustard, brown sugar, pepper, and molasses (no salt!).

Transfer beans to a baking dish. Slice salt pork and lay on top of beans.

Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, until nicely browned and bubbly. If beans are too dry, add a little water. If too watery, spoon some out.
