BEAN-HOLE BAKED BEANS
This recipe is a project that can be time- and labor-intensive. You need to dig a hole in your yard and build a fire in that hole to cook the beans. An important note: Failing to dig the hole, and using your oven instead, will result in beans that lack bona fides but are 98 percent as good as the ones that guy cooked in a hole in his yard. This recipe will take about 3 hours plus soaking time for the oven method.

Steps:
- Soak beans overnight in water to cover or quick-soak: Put beans in a large pot, add water to cover by 2 inches and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse.
- If you don't already have a bean hole, dig a hole about half again as large as whatever pot you plan to cook the beans in. (The key is that there be 6 inches between the top of the hole and the top of the pot.) Build a fire in the hole using about 10 pieces of cord wood. When the fire is burning well, add 10 softball-size rocks, then continue to burn until the wood is reduced to embers. You should have a bed of embers 2 to 3 inches deep.
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse the beans and put them into a 6-quart Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot along with all remaining ingredients except the salt pork. Stir well to combine. Lay the salt pork slices on top of the beans, then add water to cover by about an inch. Bring just to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Carefully remove the rocks from the bean hole. Put the pot into the hole on top of the embers, cover it with a triple layer of heavy-duty foil, then put the rocks back into the hole around and on top of the pot. Fill in the hole with dirt, covering the pot. Come back 8 hours later, remove the pot from the hole and serve the beans.

BEAN-HOLE BAKED BEANS
All over Maine in the summer time, there are signs for Bean-hole Beans Suppers and Baked Beans Community Dinners. It all starts with local beans! Marfax beans cooked in molasses make wonderful baked beans. In this recipe, the beans hold thier shape, and the flavor shines through. Traditionally Bean-hole Beans are baked in a covered pot several inches deep in the ground, on top of a bed of embers for the whole day. Recipes vary, calling for molasses, brown sugar, maple syrup or a combination of sweeteners. This recipe is lightly sweet, using both maple and molasses as a nod to the history. You can increase the molasses to half a cup, if you like that sweet, tangy flavor. The beans are soaked and then parboiled, to cut down the cooking time and adjust for a home oven version. The method in this recipe was inspired by old advertisement pictures from 1929 ads that ran in newspapers around the country, showing the layering of the ingredients! Here is more info u0026amp; history on Bean-hole Beans from the Maine Organic Farmers u0026amp; Gardeners Association. Use Marfax (the classic baked-bean bean), Yellow Eye, Navy, Pinto beans - or a mixture of dry beans. Double the recipe, as it keeps well and can be frozen. This recipe can be made in the slow cooker set on low for 8 hours.

Steps:
- The bean hole should be 2 1/2 to 3 feet deep, depending on your pot. The hole should be big enough around to have a 6 inch space between the pot and the edge of the hole on all sides. To help hold heat, put some old tire chains or stones in the hole before starting the fire.
- Start the fire and keep it filled with good dry hardwood. Let it burn for about 3 hours. The hole should be at least 3/4 full of hot coals. After the fire has been going for about an hour, place the beans in a large pot, on the stove with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until skins roll back when you blow on them, about 45 minutes. Watch closely, because they will get mushy if left too long.
- When the hole is ready, cut the salt pork in to 2 inch wide and 1/4 inch thick slices. Place them into the bottom of the bean pot. Peel and cut the onions in half; lay them on top of the pork. Pour the beans and their liquid into the pot, then mix in the molasses, black pepper and dry mustard. Slice butter and place on top. Add enough boiling water to cover the beans by one inch. Cover the top of the pot tightly with aluminum foil so that it goes down over the sides by at least 2 inches. Place lid onto bean pot.
- Before putting the pot into the hole, remove about 1/3 of the coals using a shovel. Remove and discard any burning pieces of wood. Place the bean pot into the hole, and put the coals from the hole back in around the sides and over the top of the bean pot. Now start filling the hole in with the dirt, packing it down with your feet as you go. You should end up with about 2 feet of dirt covering the pot. Cover the place where the beans are buried with a tarp or piece of metal to keep out rain.
- Let the beans stew overnight in their bean hole. Carefully dig them out the next day and enjoy!

OVEN BAKED BEAN HOLE BEANS
This is a recipe similar to the one my mother used to make when she wanted long cooked baked beans. In Maine they actually dig a big hole and fill it with coals from a fire and then set the pot in the hole and cover it with more coals and dirt for 6-8 hours or overnight. Cooked Low and slow is the way to go.

Steps:
- Soak beans overnight. Drain and place into large 6 qt or more Dutch oven or heavy roaster. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Add sufficient water to cover the beans by at least 1 - 1 1/2 inches and stir well.
- Place covered Dutch oven in preheated 250 degree oven and bake for 6-8 hours. Check periodically to see if they need more liquid and to see if the beans are done to your liking (after at least three to four hours). Continue to cook til the beans are soft but not falling apart.
- If they are too liquidy, remove cover and bake for about 30 minutes. If too dry, stir in a little water and let absorb.
- Serve with your favorite picnic foods like fried chicken and coleslaw and buttered bread.
