Boston Baked Beans

OK so I started cooking at home again. I've found that since my surgery in the summer nothing tastes right and it's all frankly getting a bit boring. I got it in my head I needed more fibre in my diet and the first thing that came to mind was Boston Baked Beans . . . yum yum . . . LOVE them . . . but I don't really have a recipe any more so I search the "net" and find a couple I think I can use. Now I'm not the best at remembering recipies but I had a pretty good idea what I needed (because I'd printed the recipe twice and lost it both times) so while shopping for some other groceries I picked up some navy beans, molasses, brown sugar and some white onion . . . knowing I had dry mustard at home and the rest I would just wing it. Got home and still couldn't find the recipe - but I knew I had to soak the beans overnight covering them with 2 inches of water. What do they know . . . so I put two BAGS (not 2 1/2 cups as the recipe said - remember I still couldn't find it) of beans in a roasting pan at about 6:30 p.m. and by 10:00 p.m. (bed time) the beans were popping all over the countertop out of the roasting pan so the mad panic was on to get them put into a different container - It didn't seem to matter what I did - even moving them slightly - sent them popping all over the floor and the dog was having a hayday! Finally I got them into the LARGE canning container and left them overnight . . . covered with two inches of water . . . Little did I know I was going to have beans until the cows came home NEXT December. I had to triplicate the recipe (because of how many beans I'd soaked) and lifting them in and out of the oven for 5 hours made my right hand completely fall asleep in the middle of the night so bad I thought it had fallen off! Here's the recipe I used: 2 1/2 cups navy beans 1/2 pound pork bacon (cut into about 1" pieces) 1 medium sized white onion (coursely chopped) 1/3 cup molasses 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 tablespoon cloves 1 bablespoon worstershire sauce 3 cups hot water (or water from boiling the beans) Soak the beans overnight; Boil at low boil for one hour; drain liquid (reserving the 3 cups) Put 1/2 of the bacon and 1/2 of the onions at the bottom of the container you are going to use to put everything in the oven); Place 1/2 of the beans in the container; add the balance of the bacon and onion; Combine all other ingredients (including the 3 cups of liquid from the boiled beans) and pour over beans, bacon and onions (do NOT stir); Place in an oven container at 325 for 5-6 hours (until you think they are the colour and consistency to where you think they are totally cooked); If you feel that the liquid is not enough you can add water as required until cooked. And here's the finished product - LOVE LOVE LOVE TOTAL TIME: 6-7 HOURS TOTAL COST: About $14.00 YIELD: 6 - 1 LITRE JARS
