Boston Baked Beans

Step by stepInstructions

1. Soak the beans in cold water overnight; drain.
2. Simmer the beans in fresh water until tender, about 1 hour; drain, reserving 2 cups of the liquid.
3. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Put the onion in the bottom of a bean pot, add the beans, and bury the salt pork among them.
4. Stir the molasses, brown sugar, mustard, pepper, salt, and reserved liquid together and pour over the beans.
5. Cover and bake 4-5 hours, checking occasionally and adding water if dry. Uncover for the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.
