Recipe by: Valerie Whittle

Wash beans and pick over, removing pebbles or dirt. Place in large
pot and add cold water to cover. Soak overnight. Drain. Add fresh
water to cover. Brind to a boil; boil about 1 1/2 hours or until bean
skins begin to break, but beans are intact. To test, remove a few
beans with a spoon and blow on them; the skins should ruffle. Put
beans and liquid into a large ovenproof pot. Add salt, mustard,
molasses and brown sugar. Score the rind of the salt pork and press
into the top of the beans. Add enough water to cover, if necessary.
Bake at 300 degrees, uncovered, until beans begin to simmer, about 45
minutes to an hour. Cover and bake for 8 hours, adding more liquid as
necessary. Do not stir. Uncover for last 30 minutes of baking.
