Homemade Pork And Beans, Slow Cook Method (Gf) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 -4 cups raw dried navy beans, cover with
8 -12 cups cold water, and soak overnight
3 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon molasses or 1 tablespoon corn syrup
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups ketchup
1 tablespoon soya sauce (optional)
3 cups water
1/4 - 1/2 lb bacon, slices raw

Preparation

If your beans have soaked overnight, Add enough HOT water to cover beans by about an inch.
Stir.
Cover.
Cook on High 1 hour or longer until beans are tender.
Beans need to be tender before you add the other ingredients otherwise it is hard to cook them to the soft stage.
Drain.
If you forgot to do this step then, place 4 cups beans into slow cooker.
Add at least 10 cups hot water, cover.
Cook on High for 2 hours.
Test a bean - they should be soft/tender BEFORE adding remaining ingredients.
Drain.
Put remaining ingredients into slow cooker.
Stir gently.
Cover and cook: On Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours.
