Baked Beans

purchased from the Zimmerman Estate in Terrell, Texas
date on card says 1944)

2 cups navy beans
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 cup chopped white onion
1 cup boiling water
1/2 pound salt pork (I have also used bacon and it works extremely well)

Wash beans. Cover with water and soak overnight. Drain well. Cover with a
large amount of boiling salted water and boil slowly for 1 hour. Drain
well. Combine salt, sugar, molasses, bay leaf, mustard, onion and water
and add to beans. Pour into bean pot. Score rind of pork and press into
beans, leaving the rind exposed. Cover beans with additional boiling water
and bake in 300 degree oven for 4 hours. Remove cover for last hour of
baking.
