Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 lb. dried lg. lima beans
1 1/2 c. brown sugar (or less)
1 tbsp. salt
1 med. onion (about 1/4 c.)
1 lb. bacon

Wash the lima beans, sort out any bad ones. It doesn't matter if they
are broken. Soak the beans in a large kettle overnight. Be sure they
are covered well with water.

In the morning, drain the beans. Cover with fresh water and parboil
about 15 minutes. Watch carefully as they may boil over. Drain again,
then cover with fresh water and add the following:

1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tbsp. salt
1 med. onion (about 1/4 c. chopped up)

Bring to a boil, then transfer beans and liquid to a large (9x15 inch
or so) baking pan. Layer bacon strips over the beans and liquid.
Cover all with foil. Turn edges in so moisture doesn't drip in oven.

Bake about 1 hour at 350 degrees, or less if oven is hot. Turn oven
down to 325 degrees and bake 3 to 4 hours until done. Remove foil the
last hour, allowing the food to brown.

NOTE: If beans become too dry while baking, add water.

soup, salt, onion, mustard and sugar; cover with strips of bacon.
