3 cups dried pinto beans
3 cups fresh apple cider
1/2 lb salt pork or bacon thinly sliced
2 small yellow onions peeled
2 medium tart apples cored and diced
1/2 cup molasses
1 tbls dry mustard
2 tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Pick over the beans. Discard stones, misshapen beans or ones that look questionable.
Rinse beans well and place in a large bowl.
Add cold water to cover by 3 inches, cover, and soak for 12 hours.
Drain beans and transfer to a heavy saucepan.
Add the cider and slowly bring to a boil over medium heat.
Gently boil for 30 minutes in uncovered pan.
Remove from the heat.
Reserve the cider as you drain the beans.
Pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Meanwhile, dice the two apples and mix into the beans.
Layer half of the pork in a deep, 2-quart baking dish or bean pot.
Spoon the bean and apple mixture into the baking dish.
Bury the onions in the beans.
In a small saucepan, combine the molasses, mustard, and salt.
Pour the hot mixture over the beans and top with the remaining pork.
Pour the reserved cider over the beans.
Add hot water, as needed, to completely cover the beans.
Cover the pot/dish.
Bake for about 4 hours.
Uncover the pot/dish and add more water if beans appear to be too dry.
Cover, again, and bake until the beans are tender, or about 1 to 2 hours longer.
The timing will depend on the age of the dried beans.
Serve hot, from the pot.
This baked bean recipe requires patience, like mastering Moto X3M. Soak beans 12 hours, boil, then bake with apples, pork, and a molasses-mustard sauce. Layer ingredients in a pot, add cider, and slow-bake at 300°F. Discard questionable beans for optimal flavor. The slow bake brings out the best flavors.

Wow, 6 hours of cook time plus 12 hours passive? That's dedication! My instant pot baked beans are nowhere near that involved, but I can appreciate the depth of flavor you must get. Thinking about it, maybe I should try a longer, slower cook sometime. Speaking of different bean adventures, have you ever tried using a program like Eggy Car to find new recipes? I've found some real gems that way!
