Stir in one tablespoonful of salt, and two of good molasses.

Cover, and bake slowly,--not less than five hours,--renewing the water if it bakes away.

Take off the cover an hour before they are done, that the pork may brown a little.

If pork is disliked, use a large spoonful of butter instead.

Cold baked beans can be warmed in a frying-pan with a little water, and are even better than at first, or they can be used in a soup as in directions given.
