Soak beans overnight.
In morning, parboil them for ten minutes with a
teaspoon of baking
soda. Then run cold water through the beans in a
colander or strainer.
Dice rind of salt port in one half inch squares.
Put half on bottom
of bean pot with the whole peeled onion. Add beans,
and then the rest
of the pork on top. Mix other ingredients with hot
water. Pour over beans.
Put in 300F oven for six hours.
You can't let the
pot just set in the oven. You've got to add water as
necessary to keep
the beans moist. And you can't be impatient and add too
much water at a time
and flood the beans.
