1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 pound salt pork, cubed

Cook's Note: For a more traditional method of preparing this particular bean pot, try the following:

• After soaking beans, drain and cover with fresh water and salt and cook until tender (about 1 1/2 to 2 hours) adding water if needed.
• Drain beans, reserving liquid.
• Mix beans with remaining ingredients.
• Pour into 2 quart casserole with tight-fitting lid. Add enough bean liquid to cover beans.
• Bake covered at 300°F for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Add boiling water as needed during baking
