 · 2 lbs Dry Beans
· ½ cup Brown Sugar, packed
· ½ lb Salt Pork
· ½ tsp. Dry Mustard
· 1 Medium Onion
· ½ tsp. Ginger
· 2 cups Maine Maple Syrup (dark amber)

Sort and wash dry beans.  Soak beans overnight.  Bring to a boil.  Lower heat to simmer. Cook until you blow on the beans and the skin peels away (about 1 hour).  Drain the beans but save the water.  Place the onion in bottom of a bean pot.  Pour the beans over the onion.  Slice the salt pork nearly to the rind in half inch squares.  Place the pork, rind side up, near the top of the beans.  Mix all other ingredients. Add some bean juice, stir together and pour over the beans.  Add juice until 1 inch above the beans.  Add water as needed.  Bake in a 250 degree oven for 6 to 8 hours.
