PORK AND BEANS. Soak a quart of beans over night in soft water. Change this for more and warmer in the morning ; and two hours later, put them on to boil in cold. When they are soft, drain well, put into a deep dish and sink into the middle a pound of salt pork, leaving only the top of the rind visible ; the pork should have been previously parboiled. If you want to bake them, take them out of the kettle, drain, and turn into a bake dish
