Down Maine Baked Beans

Recipe by GayeLe: Down Maine Baked Beans/saved
A good baked beans dish. Can taste black pepper in the background.
Used a brine again to overnight soak the beans. Beans were fork tender after only 2 hours of oven time but I left them bake another 4 hours to marry the flavors and let the liquid slowly evaporate. Added a cup of water after the first 2 hours but from then on it was fine.
I be ecstatic over the results I am getting from the brine soak. No more hard beans for me and processed in quicker time too. :)
Sorry 'bout the blurry pic.

I love baked beans as well and have never made them...would they still be good if I omitted the salt pork? Your pic looks really good!
