Here's another entry from Stacy's cookbook, along with a note from our Uncle Gary.
1 lb. beans (I use pea size beans)
3/4 lb. pork shoulder - cubed (ham bones etc.)
1 cup white sugar (I use brown)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 diced onion
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
Salt and pepper
Soak beans overnight or parboil until skins blister.
Mix everything together, cover with water and bake all day at 250 to 300.
Stacy,
Here is a recipe for your cookbook from your Grandma Gordon: Baked Beans. I am copying it exactly the way she wrote it on her recipe card.
Once when I was a kid, my Mom was using her pressure cooker to prepare the beans for baking (the recipe's parboiling option). Our family was just getting ready to leave the house -- I think we were going to Aunt Mary and Uncle Ken's cottage at Archibald Lake near Lakewood, WI. In her haste to remove the beans from the pressure cooker, the lid blew off the cooker and beans went flying all over the kitchen. I remember seeing the unusual site of beans splattered on the ceiling! To this day, I have never used a pressure cooker, and probably never will!
