New England Baked Beans

Directions

Cover beans with water, bring to boil, and boil for 2 minutes.

Cover and let stand for 1 hour; then cook until tender.

Drain, reserving liquid. Put beans in an oven safe pot or your slow cooker crockpot.

Cut through the salt pork every ½ inch, making cuts 1 inch deep.

Bury the salt pork in the beans, leaving rind exposed so it gets all caramelized and crusty.

Mix 1 cup liquid and remaining ingredients; pour over beans. Add enough liquid to cover beans.

Cover; bake in pre-heated slow oven (300℉ (150℃).) for 6 to 8 hours.

Or cook on low setting of your slow cooker/crockpot for 6 to 8 hours.

Uncover pot during the last hour. (If using a crockpot turn it to high for the last hour, uncovered).
