To one pint dried beans, add one quart milk-warm water. Set on back of range and soak over night. Wash from this water, add three pints warm water and cook till tender. This will take about three hours or a little less, possibly. Drain well and season with salt and pepper. Place in center of baking dish a nice, firm, square piece of boiled salt pork and surround it with beans. Pour over all two tablespoons of yellow corn syrup, and bake for an hour.
