boil very gently for two hours; drain off the
water, put the beans in a deep dish with a cover,
or in a pan; wash the pork and cut the rind side
into small squares or strips. Put in the pot so
the rind is above the beans; add 1 dessertspoonful

water during that time, as the beans should be

pot. If baked in an open pan, cook for 3 hours;
keep the beans covered with water for 2 hours and
then brown during the next hour.
