1 cup beans
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon molasses
1 tablespoon butter, or
¹⁄₈ lb. salt pork
Water to cover
Cook the beans for four or more hours, as directed in the recipe for
dried navy beans. Put them into a baking-dish, add the other
ingredients, gashing the pork frequently and laying it on top. Put it
into an insulated oven with stones that will turn white tissue paper a
golden brown. Bake them for eight hours or more.
