Gourmet'S Boston Baked Beans
   
Recipe Categories: Vegetable Recipes
Average Rating: (23 votes)
Yield: 6 Servings
 
Ingredients
  2  c Dried navy beans, picked over and rinsed  
  3/4  lb Salt pork  
  1/2  c Molasses  
  1/2  ts Dry mustard (English style)  
  1/4  ts Paprika  
  1  ts Onion, grated  
 
Instructions
 
  1. In a bowl, combine the beans with 4 cups cold water and let them soak overnight. Drain, reserving any remaining liquid. Transfer them to a small heavy kettle, and add fresh water to cover. Simmer, covered, for 60 minutes. Drain in a colander, reserving the cooking liquid and combining it with the soaking liquid.

 
  2. To the kettle, add a quarter lb. piece of salt pork and the beans and bury the remaining piece of pork, well scored, in the center of the beans. In a small bowl, stir together the molasses, 1/2 cup of bean liquid, mustard, paprika, and onion. Pour the mixture over the beans and stir in.

 
  3. Bake the beans, covered, in the middle of a preheated 300f oven for 5 hours, stirring in some of the bean liquid at hourly intervals as necessary to keep the beans just barely covered. Remove lid and cook uncovered for 1 more hour.
