Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound great northern beans dried
  • 7 cups water
  • 4 ounces salt pork
  • 2 rosemary or 1 ½ teaspoons dried, fresh stems
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Worcestershire sauce dashes
  • 1 tablespoon dark corn syrup
  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes lightly drained, canned

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pick over the beans.
  2. Place in a deep pot or Dutch oven with cold water, salt pork, and rosemary stalks.
  3. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a steady simmer and cook for 2 hours adding more water if needed to keep beans moist.
  4. Remove the salt pork and add the remaining ingredients. Bring back to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Cook, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed and beans are tender.
  6. Remove the rosemary stalks before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute other dried white beans such as navy or cannellini for the great northern beans.
  • Substitute four 15-ounce cans of beans for the dried beans. Use the beans with their liquid and reduce the water to 2-3 cups. The cooking time should be reduced to about 45 minutes. 
  • Cool leftovers completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. May be stored frozen for a few months.
  • Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
