Ingredients

1 lb white beans
1 small onion, sliced
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 lb bacon or 1/4 lb salt pork, sliced

Pick and rinse beans.
In a large pot, add cold water to cover.
Bring the beans to boiling and then simmer for 30 minutes - do not add any salt, this toughens the beans.

Add beans and hot water to cover.
Arrange pork on top.
Cover and bake in a slow oven (250*F) for 7 hours.
After 4 hours, mash 1 cup of beans and return to pot.
Add liquid to keep beans covered.
