Pork Shoulder With Baked Beans


I wish I could give you a regular recipe but this will be a list of ingredients. These beans are so good they may be illegal in some states.

Navy beans clean soak the beans according the package directions.

While the beans are hydrating:

Cube a pork shoulder and brown it with pepper, a chopped onion and 4 sliced carrots. Set the meat/veggie mix aside.


When the beans are almost done add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water. The baking soda softens the skin on the beans and lets them absorb more goodness.

Rinse and drain the beans. Add ketchup, mustard, molasses, brown sugar and a little water; simmer with the cooked beans. Taste and keep adjusting the flavor. They should have a fair amount of liquid since it will be absorbed when the meat is added. Add the meat mixture and warm through.
