* Exported from MasterCook * Boston Baked Beans Recipe By : SUPER COOKERY
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :8:00
Categories : Volume 2-12, Dec. '99 Beans Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 8 Ounces Salt Pork
2 Pounds Dried Beans -- Soaked Overnight
-- and Drained
2 Teaspoons Salt
1 Large Onion -- Finely Chopped
1/2 Cup Soft Brown Sugar
6 Tablespoons Molasses
3 Teaspoons Dry Mustard
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper Put the salt pork in a large bowl. Add cold water to cover. Soak the
salt pork for 3 hours and drain well. Place the beans in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Add 1
teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Boil the
beans for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the beans soak
in the water for 1 hour. Return the pan to the heat and bring the beans to a boil again. Reduce
the heat to very low, partially cover the pan and slowly simmer the
beans for 30 minutes. Drain the beans and discard the liquid.
Preheat the over to very cool 250 degrees. Place the onion in the bottom of a flameproof casserole. Add a layer of
the cooked, drained beans to the casserole. Thickly slice the drained salt pork and cut each slice into small
chunks. Arrange a layer of salt pork over the beans in the casserole.
Add another layer of beans and finish with a layer of salt pork.
In a small mixing bowl, with a wooden spoon, mix together the brown
sugar, molasses, mustard, black pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon of
salt. Spoon the mixture over the beans and pork. Add enough boiling
water to cover the beans. Cover the casserole and place it in the oven. Bake for 5 hours, adding
boiling water from time to time so that the beans are always just covered. Remove the lid of the casserole and bake uncovered for 45 minutes. Serve
straight from the casserole. NOTES : Flavored with molasses and baked to a dark, rich brown, Boston
Baked Beans is a traditional American dish. In colonial New England,
this nourishing combination of beans, salt pork and molasses was often
baked in the oven with the week's bread and then eaten with thick slices
of the steaming hot, brown bread. Today, Boston Baked Beans are usually
served with roast pork or ham. Posted to FareShare 12-99 by Michael McLaughlin <mmclaughlin@micronet.net> Join the FareShare Recipe Group at http://fareshare.tripod.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
