=Baked beans (for 100 men).=
Take 25 pounds dry beans that have been soaked overnight and drain off
the water, cover them (little over) with fresh water and boil for 1
hour. This water will cook beans well. Divide them in 2 large bake pans
and season with salt and pepper and 7 pounds bacon, diced, ½ gallon
molasses, and bake at least 3 hours.
