Baked Beans Recipe

Put one pint of dried beans, (cost six cents,) and quarter

of a pound of salt pork, (cost four cents,) into two quarts of cold

water; bring them to a boil, and boil them slowly for about twenty

minutes; then put the beans, with about a teacupful of the water they

were boiled in, into an open jar, season them with salt and pepper to

taste, and one tablespoonful of molasses, (cost of seasoning one cent,)

lay the pork on the top, and bake two hours, or longer. The dish will

cost about ten cents, and is palatable and nutritious. The liquor in

which the beans were boiled should be saved, and used the next morning

as broth, with seasoning and a little fried or toasted bread in it.
