Maine Baked Beans
(From the State of Maine Dried Yellow Eye Beans package)

2 pounds Maine Goodies Dry Beans
1/2 pound salt pork
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 - 2/3 cups molasses
2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon pepper
dash of salt
1 medium onion

Pick over the beans and soak them overnight in cold water. In the morning, parboil the beans until the skins crack when blown upon. If an onion is used, cut in quarters and put in bottom of bean pot. Add the parboiled beans. Cut through the rind of the salt pork to a depth of 1/2 inch, and place the pork on the top of the beans. Mix the sugar, molasses, mustard, pepper and salt with 1 pint of boiling water. Pour this over the beans and pork. If necessary, add more boiling water to cover. Bake at 300oF for 6 hour or more, adding more boiling water as the beans cook. Serve with steamed brown bread or hot Johnny cake.

Try adding one of our flavored peppers for that extra delicious twist! Another great side dish is our organic corn bread.
