  Put dry beans in a lg. iron pot, cover w/ water, and hang over a
  fire; boil 5 min, stirring constantly. Remove from fire, and add
  pork, molasses, mustard, and salt. Cover w/ closely fitting cast-iron
  cover. In dry ground, preferably gravel, dig a hole 2 ft. deep and 2
  ft. across, and in it build a brisk hardwood fire. When the fire has
  burned to coals, take part of the coals out w/ a shovel; place iron
  pot in the hole and cover w/ the remaining coals.  On top of the
  coals, place the gravel originally taken from the hole. Leave the pot
  in the hole all day. Colonial Cookbook, updated as researched from
