BAKED BEANS WITH
VARIOUS FLAVORS
Recipe Furnished by Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
Baked beans may he cooked In many
ways. Here is a Tecipe furnished by
the United States Department Of Ag-
piculture.
Cook the dried beans gently until
the skins begin to break. then drain
off the water. Put a layer OF beans
In a bean pot or deep earthen dish,
and on this layer, In the center Of the
dish, place a piece OF salt pork ("streak
of fat and streak Of lean"), having
the rind side up, using ] quart Of
beans, a half pound of pork. The rind
should be scored. Fill up the dish
with the beans, add seasonings and
water to cover the beans.
The simplest seasoning for beans Is
! tablespoonful of salt and a half tea
spoonful OF pepper to a quart of beans.
Mix the salt and pepper with the wa
ter. II liked. a tablespoonful Of mus
tard may be added, as well as an
onion and a tablespoonful or more Of
molasses. Instead of the pork a piece
of. salt or fat beef pr mutton may be
employed. In this case there should
be from ~ to 2 pounds Of the meat
to a quart Of beans. If fresh meat
he used. add more salt to the beans.
II salt meat Is used, probably one tea
spoonful of salt will be enough. When
mutton is employed. trim of every
particle of the skin.
Bake the beans In a very moderate
oven for s or 10 hours. Add q little
boiling water from time TO time, but
never enough to bring the water he
yond the top Of the beans. Any kind
Of bean may be baked In this manner.
However, the small pea bean Is the
best for Boston baked beans" The
lima and large white beans are best
for the deep earthen dish. Do not
cover the beans while baking.
Other fayors liked with baked beans
are those supplied by tomato sauce
tomato catsup, brown gravy and mush-
o sauce.
