4 tsp salt

Soak beans overnight. Simmer for 10 minutes (my wife adds 1 tsp of baking soda), drain, rinse. Slice onion and place on bottom of bean pot (3 qt casserole). Add half of fatback, beans, and the rest of the fatback (bacon). Mix sugar, molasses, dry mustard, salt, and pepper and pour over beans. Do not stir. Add water to cover. Bake 300 degrees for 6 hours. Check and stir after 2 hours. Add water if needed but not too much.
