Boston Baked Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 qt. dried pea beans
1 medium onion, peeled
1/2 lb. salt pork
1/8 c. molasses
1 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 c. brown sugar

Preparation

On Friday night, put the beans to soak in a kettle full of cold water.
In the morning, pour the water off, cover with fresh water and bring to a boil.
Simmer until you can blow the skins off.
To do this take a spoonful of the beans from the pot.
(If you should get your face down in the steam you might get badly burned.)
