Alabama "Goober Beans" - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 (15 oz.) cans canned beans
    1 1/2 lb. fat salt pork
    4 small strong onions
    1 Tbsp. hot dog mustard
    1 1/2 c. molasses
    2 Tbsp. peanut butter
    1/4 to 1/2 tsp. ginger powder
Preparation
    Pick, sort and boil enough beans to fill crock-pot or use the cheapest (tasteless) canned beans and save an hour.
    While beans are heating, dice salt pork into 1/2-inch cubes and rinse well in hot water.
    Fry pork in skillet until foaming stops, then add to crock along with 4 tablespoons melted fat.
    Add mustard, molasses, peanut butter and ginger.
    May be eaten right away but flavor improves with long simmer in crock.
    Adjust flavor to taste but use only enough peanut butter to thicken juice and not enough to recognize its flavor.
