Maple Baked Pork And Beans

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

2. 2

   Place beans in a large bean pot or flameproof casserole. Cut the rind off the salt pork in one piece leaving a 1/2 inch of fat attached; reserve. Cut remaining salt pork into strips about 1 1/2 X 3/4 X 3/8 inch.

3. 3

   Blanch rind and strips in a large saucepan for 5 minutes to remove some of the salt. Drain and rinse well under cold running water.

4. 4

   Add salt pork strips and all remaining ingredients, except rind, to bean pot and mix well to combine. Lay pork rind on top, cover tightly and bake 3 hours.

5. 5

   Remove rind, recover and continue to bake 3 - 5 hours longer, until beans are tender and liquid has been reduced to a thick sauce. Check occasionally during last few hours of baking and add additional boiling water, if necessary, to prevent burning.
