Introduction
This recipe is a work in progress, I have taken the most common ingredients I have heard of and combined them into a recipe that gives a flavor that I like. It is nothing like canned baked beans. These have a very sweet flavor with a noticeable hint of cloves. I serve it for breakfast over corn grits, one cup of grits with 1 cup of beans on top. Makes about 8 one cup servings.

Ingredients
-
1 pound of dried kidney beans
1/3 cup of molasses
1/2 cup of light brown sugar
4 Tbsp of ground mustard
1/4 tsp of ground cloves
3 cups of boiling water
12 oz of salt pork
1 large onion
Tips
The crock pot will have a very strong odor of mustard when cooking prior to mixing the the beans, this is normal you haven't added too much. I don't do any stirring until the beans have been on for at least 4 or 5 hours and it is not necessary to stir them at all if you don't want to. It just keeps the pot from getting too caked with that burned edge.
Directions
Soak beans over night according to instructions.
Set a kettle on to boil water then prepare the crock pot as follows;
Cube salt pork into 1/4 inch pieces and place half in a layer in the bottom of a slow cooker of crock pot.
Add half the beans in a layer on top of the salt pork.
Add all of the onion in one layer.
Add the second half of the beans on top of the onion.
Add the second half of the salt pork.
By now your water should be about ready to boil. Put the sugar, molasses and clove in a large, heat resistant mixing bowl. Add 3 cups of boiling water one cup at a time and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
Carefully pour this mixture into the crock pot and gently press the beans down into the fluid, add water until the fluid level just about reaches thethe top of the beans layer. They shouldn't be covered the water should be just flush with the top of the top layer of beans and salt pork. Sprinkle the ground mustard evenly over the top.
Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or until the beans are tender.
