Gary Fuller says September 2, 2022 at 7:18 pm For your baked beans consider Boston is “Bean Town” for good reason. They had dry beans (Navy and Great Northern), molasses, clay pots, and ovens, hence baked beans, and this is from the founding of our nation. I am a 70 year old and remember when every bakery in New England would soak the beans overnight, put them in pans or crocks with ketchup, molasses, salt pork, and spices and have them ready for Saturday’s supper.
