Baked Beans

Soak one quart of white beans over night.

In the morning let them come to a boil. Drain and place in the pail of the cooker with one-half pound of salt pork. Gash the rind of the pork several times and cover the whole with boiling water. Boil for ten minutes and then without removing the cover place in the fireless cooker for about five hours. Remove the beans to a baking-dish, put a well shaped piece of the pork in the center and season with salt, pepper, three tablespoons of molasses. Place in oven until pork is thoroughly cooked and beans tender. Serve either hot or cold.
