RECIPE

37. Baked Beans.
Soak a quart of dried beans overnight in cold water ; drain
off the water in the morning, and stew them for half an hour
in a little water; put them in a deep dish with one pound
of salt pork ; cut the rind in stripes, and place in the centre
of the dish. The pork 'should be sunk a little below the
surface of the beans. Bake for three hours and a half.
A lump of saleratus should be thrown in while the beans
are stewing, and a pint of water added when they are put
into the baking-dish.
