Grammie Jardine'S Baked Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. pea beans or kidney beans
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. plus 1 Tbsp. dark molasses
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
4 Tbsp. finely chopped onions
1 stick margarine
bacon (about 6 pieces) or salt pork
1 c. boiling water (water you boiled beans in)

Preparation

Wash beans and pick over.
Soak overnight in cold water; drain in the morning.
Cover with water; boil until the skins peel back when you blow on them (about 20 minutes or so).
Save the water. Put beans in pot; add all the ingredients, except bacon or salt pork.
Top with bacon or salt pork; cover the pot.
Bake at 300\u00b0 for about 5 to 6 hours, or until done (check beans every 1/2 hour or so and add more water if necessary).
