BAKED BEANS
- Small white beans, 2 cups.
- Protose, if desired.
- Molasses, 1 teaspoonful.
- Salt.
Clean the beans, soak in cold water one hour, season with salt and molasses. Put into a covered jar with plenty of water; bake overnight in a slow oven. When done, the beans should be whole, dry, and mealy, and of a rich brown color. This can only be obtained by baking the beans several hours in a slow oven. If desired, a little chopped protose may be added. Serve the beans plain, or with brown bread.
