Soak a quart of beans overnight. The next day boil them with a sliced
onion, one large onion to a quart of beans (they will not taste of the
onion), and when they are almost done, put them into a baking-dish,
taking out the onions. Almost bury in the centre of the beans a quarter
of a pound of salt pork; pour in some of the water in which the beans
were boiled, and bake about an hour.
Another way is to omit the onions, and after parboiling the beans put
them into the bake-pan with one large spoonful of molasses and a quarter
of a pound of pork, and bake them two hours.
