Recipe:
6 cups of Navy or white beans
1 pound salt pork or bacon
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 Cup molasses
1 onion (optional)
1 pepper (optional, some recipes had it, some didn't)
Soak beans for at least 8 hours or overnight. Cut up bacon into bite sized pieces and fry in a Dutch oven or pot to desired crispiness. Leaving the bacon in the pan, add chopped onion and pepper. Fry for a few minutes then add beans and 6 cups of water.
Add 1 cup molasses and seasonings then stir. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for a few hours. Check the bag the beans came in for more accurate cooking times for the specific type of beans you buy.
If you have a clay pot or want to put the Dutch oven into a real oven then you can bake the beans at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 hours. You can also cook this in a crockpot on low for 6-8 hours or until the beans are tender.
Serves around 8 people!
Enjoy!
