--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      cups          dried navy beans (Great Northern) -- 1 1/2 lbs.
     3/4  pound         salt pork
   1      medium        onion
   2      teaspoons     salt
     1/4  cup           brown sugar, firmly packed
   2      teaspoons     dry mustard
     1/2  cup           light molasses
     1/4  cup           ketchup

1. Wash beans, discarding imperfect ones. Cover beans with 2 quarts cold
water; refrigerate, covered, overnight.
2.Next day, turn beans and water into 6-quart kettle.
3. Bring to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, covered 30 minutes. Drain,
reserving liquid.
4. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
5. Trim rind from salt pork. Cut pork almost through ,at half-inch intervals.
6. Place onion in bottom after 4-quart bean pot or casserole. Add beans; bury
pork, cut side down, in center of beans.
7. Heat reserved bean liquid to boiling.
8. Mix remaining ingredients. Stir in 1 cup boiling bean liquid. Pour over
beans. Add boiling liquid just to cover beans--about 1 1/2 cups.
9. Bake covered, 6 hours. Stir once every hour, so beans cook evenly. If they
seem dry after stirring, add a little boiling water.
10. To brown top of beans, remove cover for last half hour of baking time.
