Old Fashioned Boston Baked Beans image

We lived out side of Boston in a small town when I was in grammar school. I remember a neighbor bringing "Boston Baked Beans" to the house as a welcome to the neighborhood. They were so good. My mom got the recipe and handed it down to me.

Categories     Side Casseroles

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb navy beans,dried
2 qt cold water
1 large onion, sliced
1 Tbsp kosher salt
4 tsp cider vinegar or juice from your pickle jar
1 tsp dry mustard
3 heaping Tbsp brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c dark molasses
1/4 c ketchup
freshly ground black pepper to taste
hot water if needed
1/2 lb salt pork

Steps:

  • 1. Sort beans. Add cold water and bring to a boil covered. Simmer for 30 minutes.
  • 2. Drain but do not discard liquid. Place onions in the bottom of a bean pot or 10 cup casserole dish.
  • 3. Combine salt, vinegar (or pickle juice-my favorite), mustard, brown sugar, molasses, ketchup, and pepper and turn into pot.
  • 4. Add beans and enough hot drained liquid to cover beans. Arrange salt pork on top; cover and bake at 250-degrees for 7-8 hours. Add additional liquid as needed. Remove cover the last hour of cooking so salt pork can brown.
  • 5. Serve with a good brown bread.
