Diana in RI was asking for ideas for a cookout/bbq type party foods. I am enclosing a winner.

Boston Baked Beans
4 cups Michigan navy beans
1/2 cup chopped onion
8 cups water
1/2 lb salt pork, cut into 1 inch cubes
3 tsp salt

Sauce
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup catsup
1/4 cup (or more) brown sugar
2 cups reserved hot bean liquid
2 tsp dry mustard

Wash and pick over beans. Put beans in crock pot. Add water, salt, onion, and pork. Mix well so that pork is covered by beans. Cover and cook on low overnight, 10 to 12 hours, or until beans are tender. If you presoak beans, cooking time can be reduced.
When beans are tender, drain liquid and reserve 2 cups of the liquid. To beans, add molasses, brown sugar, dry mustard, and catsup; stir. Add bean liquid and stir. Simmer beans, covered, another 2 to 3 hours. makes 3 1/2 quarts.
