1 pound dried peas
6 cups water
1-1/2 teaspoon dried mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon salt
2 large onions, sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup maple sugar
(or 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup molasses)
2 tablespoons sweet pickle juice or vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 cup catsup
1/4 pound of salt pork or bacon

Pick over your dried beans and rinse.  Add beans to large bowl and  add water.  Let soak 8 hours or overnight.   Place in large pot and  boil  uncovered.  Add the remaining ingredients, except for the pork. Stir until  blended.  Lay the bacon or pork slices on top. Cover and simmer 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.  Add enough liquid while  simmering to barely  cover the  beans, as necessary.  Test for tenderness.  Serves 4-6  Nothing like real home cooked!   Time consuming, but worth the wait!
