Baked Beans - Aunt Della's Recipe

In support of Manistee's Frostbite Weekend festivities including a chili cookoff, I looked through Grandma's Recipe Box for a chili recipe. I did not find one, but I did find two baked bean recipes. This one is my Aunt Della's recipe - - - Della was grandma's sister.

Baked Beans

Cook one quart of beans until mush. (about 4-5 hours.) Put on in cold water to cover beans well. Cook slowly. Take from fire, add 1 tablespoon of molasses. Place in baking dish. Put slices of salt pork on the top and bake in hot oven. When beans begin to get dry, add water. When done, let top brown.

OK, that's it. That's all the information included on the recipe card. This recipe is included in Grandma's Cookbook. Enjoy and be sure to post your results if you try these beans.
