Boston Baked Beans A La Marie

Directions

1. Cover beans with cool water and soak overnight. Rinse beans well; cover with 2 inches water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer till beans are tender but not mushy (about 20-30 min). Drain, reserving bean water.
2. Put beans in bean spot; add in salt pork and onion. Mix together molasses, brown sugar, and dry mustard, and combine with beans in pot. Stir. Add in reserved bean water and fresh water as necessary to cover beans. Cover beans pot and cook in 275 degree oven for 6-8 hrs. Stir occasionally and add in water if needed to prevent beans from drying out. Serve with brown bread and cole slaw.
