A lot of people don't like canned baked beans but home baked beans baked from scratch in your own oven are hard to beat. Here is a recipe I use with a barbeque several times a year.
2 large smoked pork shanks(one pound each)
2 cups dry navy beans
1/2 cup molasses
8 cups water
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 bay leaves
Throw everything into a large pot with a lid and simmer for seven to eight hours stirring occasionally. If it goes dry add water and stir.
Remove shanks, take off skin, remove meat and cut into bite sized pieces. Add meat back into beans.
Goes great with barbequed beef, pork or chicken.
