Traditional Boston Baked Beans
1 lb Navy Beans 1/3 cup molasses
6 cups water 1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 lb salt pork, cut in 1/2 inch pieces 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 small onion, peeled
Soak beans overnight with the 6 cups of water in a large kettle. The next day add the 1/2 tsp baking soda to the beans. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Drain beans in a colander set over a large bowl and reserve the liquid. Put the salt pork, onions and beans in a stoneware bean pot or a casserole dish. In a small bowl combine the molasses, sugar, dry mustard and pepper. Stir in 1 cup of the reserves liquid, then stir this mixture into the beans. Add enough of the reserved liquid to cover the beans-about 1 cup. Cover the casserole/beanpot and bake at 300 degrees for 2 hours. Thoroughly stir in the remaining cup of reserved liquid, cover and bake another 1-1/2 to 2 hours until the beans are tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Classic Baked Beans

Baked beans are an American classic. This updated version is perfectly balanced with sweetness from the molasses and brown sugar, smokiness from the bacon, and a bit of acid from the onion, mustard, and tomato paste. Using two different colors of beans creates more visual interest.
Preparing Boston Baked Beans
Facebook's Cast Iron Cooking group is celebrating its tenth birthday tonight...on Facebook Live, because it's a Facebook group. And I'm preparing for tonight's celebration by putting together a big pot of genuine Boston baked beans. These beans have been soaking overnight, and I'll be preparing them to cook with spiced molasses sauce (and bacon and onions). They'll be slow-cooking all day, so they'll be ready to be revealed during the Facebook live session tonight. This YouTube Live session won't last an hour the way Cast Iron Wednesday live videos have, but it will be enough to have some fun talking about cast iron, Boston baked beans, and other yummy subjects. The recipe for this dish can be seen on my Web site, Cast Iron Chaos, at:
