Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups dried navy beans, picked over
7 oz salt pork (rinsed if crusted with salt) or thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon dry mustard
4 cups water

Steps:

  • Quick-soak beans:
  • Cover beans with water by 2 inches in a 4-quart heavy pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Drain beans and put in a 3-quart wide shallow pot or flameproof baking dish along with remaining ingredients, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil on top of stove, then cover tightly and bake in middle of oven until beans are just tender, about 2 hours. Uncover and bake until most of liquid is absorbed and top is slightly crusty, 1 to 1 1/2 hours more.
