Soak beans overnight in water.
In the morning, rinse the beans and cover with fresh water that you
have added 1 teaspoon of baking soda and parboil them for 10 minutes.
Run cold water through the beans in a colander or strainer. Score
salt pork into 1- inch squares, then cut in. Put 1/2 of the salt pork
on the bottom of the bean pot with whole peeled onion. Put beans in
2 quart bean pot and put the rest of the salt pork on top.
Mix other ingredients with boiling water and pour over beans. Bake
in preheated 250 degree F oven for 8 hours. Keep adding water as necessary
to keep the beans moist, but be sure not to flood the beans. Do not
cover.
