ingredients

7 pounds navy beans
1/3 cup baking soda
3/4 cup molasses
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 pound salt pork, diced
2 cups water

directions

Soak the navy beans in a large pot overnight in enough water to cover completely.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine the beans, soaking water, and baking soda in a large pan or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 7 minutes.

Drain the beans well. Stir the molasses, sugar, dry mustard, paprika, salt, pork, and water into the beans. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for 3 hours or until done.

Serve the baked beans warm or at room temperature.
