Ingredients
1 pork & beans
1 onions, diced
1 brown sugar
1 honey
1 catsup or picante sauce
1 bacon strips (optional)
Directions
Into a large oblong baking pan add enough pork and beans (or
precooked navy beans) to fill the pan. Dice up about 1/2 small onion
per can of beans. Add about 1/4 cup of brown sugar per can of beans.
Add about 1/4 cup of honey per can of beans. Add about 1/2 cup of
catsup and/or Picante sauce (the more, the hotter...but yummie
good!). Stir it all to mix thoroughly, then add bacon strips to cover
the top.
Bake in a slow oven, about 300 degrees, for 2 hours or more.
NOTE: Can be started the night before by putting the beans in a 325
degree oven for 30 minutes, then turn the heat down to 200. Let cook

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Closer to modern times, we have some interesting books which appeared in the 1300s - a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are unconnected to the curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of that time. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
