½ teaspoon baking soda
½ pound salt pork
½ medium onions

cup molasses
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Soak beans overnight.

In the morning, preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃).

Place the baking soda in a Dutch oven and fill half way with water.

Bring to a boil and add the beans.

Boil for 10 minutes. Drain beans in a colander and run cold water through them.

Set aside.

Dice the salt pork into 1-inch squares.

Put half of the salt pork on the bottom of the bean pot, along with the onion.

Put beans in the pot. Put the remaining salt pork on top of the beans.

Mix the sugar, molasses, mustard, salt and pepper with 3 cups of hot water and pour over the beans.

Cover pot with lid and place the pot into the preheated oven.

Bake for 6 hours. Check pot periodically to check the amount of liquid.

Add water to the beans slowly as needed to keep them moist; do not flood them.

Remove the pot from the oven and serve.

If you have an old fashioned ceramic bean pot put it into a cold oven or your pot could break.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment to let us know how to avoid breaking an old fashioned ceramic bean pot when we make the similar recipes :)

Soaked navy beans for eight hours and cooked them in a bean pot without preboiling. Used a half pound of bacon and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. It only cooked for 5 hours so I would check them for doneness by then.
