MAINE BAKED BEANS
During the summer the United Methodist Mission where my husband works holds weekly Potluck suppers for the work groups that come from all over the United States to rehab housing for the elderly and handicapped people of Northern Franklin County in Maine. I have made these beans for years and never bring more than a couple of spoon fulls home.

Steps:
- Put beans in a large pot with enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a medium and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Drain beans, reserving cooking liquid, then transfer beans to a 2-quart bean pot or Dutch oven.
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place salt pork in a small pot, add water to cover, then bring to a boil over high heat. Drain pork and add to beans. In a small bowl, dissolve mustard in 1 teaspoon warm water. Add dissolved mustard, molasses, and rum to beans. Season with salt and pepper, and mix gently but thoroughly.
- Heat reserved cooking liquid in a medium sauce-pan over medium heat. Pour enough of the liquid (about 3 cups) into bean pot so that beans are moist but not floating. Reserve remaining cooking liquid. Cover pot and bake, checking occasionally to ensure that beans are not drying out, adding reserved cooking liquid as needed. Cook until beans are soft, about 5 hours.
- Remove cover, gently stir beans, and return to oven. Bake uncovered until cooking liquid thickens into a sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with brown bread if you like.
BAKED BEANS
Baked beans in Maine is an every Saturday night tradition. We have them along with potato salad or cole slaw, and hotdogs of some kind. We always have cornbread or biscuits, too. It is the best supper of the week for us. I have had this every week since I was a little girl--many, many years. I love them as much today as I did when I was little. This recipe uses four kinds of beans, but it can be made with just one kind if you choose and will be as good as if you used four. Until last year, I always did the proper thing and baked them in my brown bean pot in the oven (I have five pots--all sizes). This past year I tried the crockpot and it worked fine. I always make a double batch. You can freeze them. My husband likes beans and toast for breakfast on Sunday morning. It's all tradition, I guess. NOTE: If you are a vegetarian--omit the salt port and put a big chunk of butter in the pot.
