1 pound navy beans 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1 small yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped 1/3 cup sorghum 1/4 pound burnt ends or barbecued meat scraps 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard salt Directions: Wash and sort beans, discarding any stones or shriveled beans. Put beans in large saucepan, cover with water (about 3 cups), and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, adding more water if necessary (up to 2 cups), until beans are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain, reserving water. Preheat oven to 275°F. Layer beans, sugar, onions, sorghum, and burnt ends or other meat scraps, ending with a top layer of beans, in a bean pot or ovenproof dish. Stir in soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt to taste. Add bean water and up to 1 cup more water to cover. Bake uncovered for 5 to 6 hours, stirring occasionally. If beans start to get too brown on top, cover with a lid or aluminum foil. Serves 8.
