Here’s a handwritten recipe for baked beans that comes from a large lot of recipes–date unknown but the card is still fairly white and clean looking so I’d guess from the 1980’s or 1990’s. I’ve typed the recipe out below as well as included a scanned copy (front only).
Ethel’s Baked Beans
3 cups small navy beans washed
1 heaping tsp baking soda in enough water to cover & bring to a boil — water gets foamy & sort of green colored — pour off — rinse-well — cover again with fresh water
Add 1 large onion chopped fine
salt & pepper
Cook slow until soft
Add 1/2 cup vinegar
About 3 cups white sugar (quite sweet-taste)
Cut several pieces of bacon & fry crisp–Add some bacon grease to beans
Put crisp bacon on top & bake slow until brown.
