How to Make Old Fashioned Bean Pot Baked Beans
- Rinse 2 pounds of dried navy beans and pick out any debris.
- Place beans in a large bowl and cover with 6 cups of water.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
- Drain the beans thoroughly.
- In a large saucepan, combine the drained beans with 1 medium onion, chopped.
- Add 6 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Drain the beans, reserving 2 cups of the cooking liquid. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup of reserved bean liquid, ½ cup orange juice, ½ cup molasses, ¼ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons prepared mustard, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a 2-quart bean pot or oven-safe Dutch oven, layer half of 4 ounces salt pork (sliced), then add all of the beans, burying 1 medium onion (peeled and whole) in the bottom.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the beans, adding enough reserved bean liquid to almost cover.
- Top with the remaining salt pork slices.
- Cover and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 4 hours, checking every hour and adding a little more reserved liquid if the beans seem dry.
- Uncover and bake for another hour, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened.
