Home made boston baked beans are nothing like the canned stuff. They're time consuming but easy to make. I make them for family gatherings and everyone loves them. This is how I make them:
1 lb. navy beans or Great Northern beans
1/2 lb. salt pork or bacon
1 onion
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. dry ground mustard
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. salt or to taste
Preparation:
Pick over beans and soak over night.
Chop salt pork to 1/4 inch cube and slice onion. Layer 1/3 of beans then 1/3 of pork and onion, repeat and finish with layer of onion and pork
Combine the molasses, brown sugar, and mustard with 3 cup boiling water. Stir to dissolve the sugar and mustard and pour the mixture over the beans. Cover the pot or slow-cooker and cook the beans for 4 hours. Check on them, if the beans are tender to the bite, stir in the salt to taste. Cover again and cook for another 2 hours
