ingredients
- 1 lb navy beans or 1 lb great northern bean
- 1 onion
- 1 piece salt pork, with rind scored
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1⁄2 cup molasses
- 1⁄4 cup vinegar
- water
directions
- Pick over beans making sure there's no rocks or bad beans in the bag. Soak them overnight in just enough cold water to cover them. Drain water and fill pot with clean water to about an inch above beans. Bring to boil, simmer for about 10 minutes. Drain and pour beans into a crockpot. Put in the onion and salt pork. Put in the other ingredients, finish by pouring in enough water to just cover the beans. Stir and let cook slow at least 5 hours, until beans are tender. Add water if needed. If the water hasn't cooked down you can take the lid off to allow thickening.
- I love to put on a pot of these on a Saturday morning and smell them cooking all day.

I live in Northern VA with my sons. We have 2 dogs. We all love to eat! I'm very lucky. My boys not only enjoy eating just about anything, they love to be in the kitchen. They both will sometimes start dinner before I even think of something to make. (they are both very good cooks, too)
