"When I first learned to bake beans, this is the recipe I used. Not sure if it was a family recipe, as I don't actually remember my mother making them from scratch, but she may have. Prep time shown does not include overnight soaking of beans. To double the amount for a 3 1/2- to 4-quart bean pot, double the ingredients except for the onion."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large pan, cover the beans with the water and soak overnight.
Step 2
Bring to a boil and let boil 2 minutes, then lower heat and cook until tender, replacing water as needed to keep beans covered.
Step 3
Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees F.
Step 4
Drain beans, reserving the liquid, and put beans in a 2-quart bean pot.
Step 5
Cut through pork rind about every 1/2 inch, cutting 1 inch deep but not all the way through.
Step 6
Bury the pork and the whole, unchopped onion in the beans, leaving some of the pork exposed.
Step 7
Mix 1 cup of the reserved bean liquid with the salt, molasses, mustard and sugar, and pour over the beans. Add liquid enough to cover beans.
Step 8
Cover the pot and bake 6-8 hours, uncovering pot for the last hour.
