Baked Lima Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb dried lima beans
    3 teaspoons salt
    3/4 cup butter (Butter is best, but often I use half butter and half oleo) or 3/4 cup oleo (Butter is best, but often I use half butter and half oleo)
    1/2 cup dark brown sugar
    1 teaspoon dry mustard
    1 tablespoon molasses
    1 cup sour cream
Preparation
    Soak Beans overnight, with plenty of water above the beans. They soak it up!
    In the morning, drain the beans, cover with water, add 1 tsp salt and cook until slightly tender -- 20-30 minutes. However, you must watch these babies, because they have a big tendency to boil over!Just bring them to a boil (watching them), then lower the heat --- and still watch them!
    After the beans are cooked, drain again and rinse them under hot water, and place them in a lightly sprayed or greased (oleo) casserole dish.
    Dab Butter over beans; mix \"lightly\"! or they get squishy.
    Stir in Molasses.
    Finally, pour in sour cream and mix \"tenderly\".
    Bake at 350 for one hour. (again, keep an eye on them, I don't think I usually bake them for and entire hour).
