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.
Helen Habarth married Gilbert Pecar September 25, 1924. She raised five children in her home. This BLOG is dedicated to her extensive collection of recipes. Helen kept her recipes in a large oak file box. Granddaughter Judy Pecar Crockett compiled many of the recipes, in Helen's own beautiful penmenship, into a cookbook titled: From the Kitchen of Helen Habarth Pecar.
