Boston Baked Beans

Submitted by: admin on April 2, 2020

Serves 4 To 6

Ingredients

4 ounces salt pork, rind removed, cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces
2 slices bacon, cut into 1⁄4-inch pieces
1 onion, chopped fine
9 cups water
1 pound dried small white beans (2-1⁄2 cups), picked over and rinsed
1⁄2 cup plus 1 tablespoon mild molasses
1-1⁄2 tablespoons brown mustard
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees. Cook salt pork and bacon in Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and most of fat is rendered, about 7 minutes. Add onion and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add water, beans, 1⁄2 cup molasses, mustard, and 1-1⁄4 teaspoons salt, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to boil. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake until beans are tender, about 4 hours, stirring halfway through cooking.
  2. Carefully remove lid and continue to bake until liquid has thickened to syrupy consistency, 1 to 1-1⁄2 hours longer. Remove beans from oven. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon molasses and vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve. (The baked beans can be cooled and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.)
