👨🍳 Zubereitung

Rinse beans and soak them in water overnight, or use a quick-soak method (boil for 2 minutes, let stand for 1 hour). Drain and rinse.
💡 Profitipps: Soaking is crucial for even cooking and digestibility. - 2
In a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, combine the soaked beans, chopped onion, and half of the salt pork cubes.
💡 Profitipps: Reserving some salt pork for the top adds a nice crispiness. - 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together molasses, brown sugar, ketchup, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the beans.

Add enough water to cover the beans by about 1 inch. Stir to combine.
💡 Profitipps: Start with less water; you can always add more during cooking. - 5
Place the remaining salt pork cubes on top of the beans. Cover the pot tightly.
- 6
Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-6 hours, or until beans are tender and sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally, adding more water if needed.
💡 Profitipps: Low and slow is the key to tender beans and a rich flavor. - 7
Remove the lid for the last hour of cooking to allow the top to brown and crisp.
