Ingredients

2 c. dried navy beans
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and sliced
salt pork seasoning
3 Tbsp. dark molasses
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Preparation

Soak the beans overnight in ample water.
Drain the beans and cook in ample water with the baking soda.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
Drain.
Place beans in a 2-quart baking pot with a lid.
Add salt pork and onion.
Mix remaining ingredients with a cup of hot water and pour over the beans.
Add enough additional hot water to cover the beans.

Stir only once or twice during the cooking process and add more water to keep the beans moist.
