Ingredients

  • one quart of pea beans in cold water over night
  • one-fourth pound of salt pork that is part fat
  • one teaspoonful of dry mustard
  • one teaspoonful of salt
  • one-fourth cupful of molasses

Directions

1

Soak one quart of pea beans in cold water over night ; put into fresh cold water and simmer until soft enough to pierce with a pin ; do not boil them long enough to break; if desired, a small onion may be boiled with the beans ; when they are soft, drain and pour cold water over them ; when well drained, put in the bean-pot.

2

Pour boiling water over one-fourth pound of salt pork that is part fat and part lean ; scrape the rind until white ; bury the pork in the beans, leaving only the rind exposed. Mix together one teaspoonful of dry mustard, one teaspoonful of salt, and one-fourth cupful of molasses. Place these in a cup and fill with hot water; stir until well mixed and pour the liquid over the beans and pork ; add enough water to cover the beans and bake eight hours ; add water to keep them covered until the last hour, when the pork should be raised to the surface to crisp.
