Ingredients
- one cup of beans
- one quart of cold water
- one teaspoon of sugar
- a piece of soda as large as a bean
- a piece of fat salt pork about four inches square
- one even teaspoonful of ginger
- two teaspoons of tomato catsup
- four people
- salt
Directions
One cup of beans, one quart of cold water and a piece of soda as large as a bean. Put over the fire until the water commences to boil well, then drain off. Return beans to the fire with boiling water on them and add a piece of fat salt pork about four inches square. Let them boil gently until the beans are very nearly done enough to eat, keeping plenty of liquor on them to last while baking. Now season the beans with one even teaspoonful of ginger, one teaspoon of sugar and two teaspoons of tomato catsup, white pepper and salt. Score the rind of the pork and place the piece in the center of your baking dish, pouring the beans around it, but not over the top. Have the rind of the pork on top. . Bake until the rind is crisp, which will probably be about three-fourths of an hour. This is enough for four people. — Mrs. A. O. Wheeler, Manistee, Mich.
