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.

[email protected]These beans were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time, like chili powder and cumin.

[email protected]I made these beans for a camping trip and they were a huge hit! They were easy to make and they tasted even better cooked over a campfire.

[email protected]These beans were a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned beans. Next time I'll use dried beans and soak them overnight before cooking.

[email protected]I'm a vegetarian, so I made these beans without the bacon. They were still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make up for the lack of meat.

[email protected]I made these beans in my slow cooker and they turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in and let it cook on low for 8 hours. They were perfect for a lazy Sunday dinner.

[email protected]These beans were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll cut back on the sugar.

[email protected]I'm not usually a fan of baked beans, but these were surprisingly good. The bacon and onions added a nice savory flavor and the beans were cooked perfectly.

[email protected]I've been making these beans for years and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The secret is in the molasses and brown sugar. They give the beans a rich, sweet flavor that's irresistible.
