If practice does make perfect, then the baked beans that Hildur has made thousands of times must be nearing perfection. They are sweet, well-browned, and thick, and she always makes them with red kidney beans and Grandma's Molasses-"no other brand will do."

Ingredients:

1 pound red kidney beans
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar (granulated or brown)
4 tablespoons catsup
3 tablespoons Grandma's Molasses
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 piece salt pork about 1-1/2-inch square, scored

Instructions:

Soak beans overnight in water to cover. In the morning, pour the water off, cover with fresh water, add the salt, and boil until beans are soft. Drain beans in a colander. Place beans in a bean pot or casserole, add water to cover, and add rest of ingredients, stirring well. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees F until beans are brown on top (about half an hour), then cover and bake at 350 degrees F about 2 hours longer.
