I was looking for a crock pot recipe similar to my grandmothers and this is very close. My grandma used the water the beans soaked in and different measurements for the molasses and brown sugar but other then that it's very close... But I doubt my grandma cooked hers in a crock pot. It's hot in the house so I wanted to just use a crock pot. First time making it I made it with salt pork and it took 6 hour, I am trying it again today but with bacon so we will see. thanks for sharing!

<p>I have always loved to cook and especially loved to bake. This was complicated when I found out I am a celiac, and had to stop using gluten (wheat, rye, barley) in my recipes! I pride myself on still making very yummy treats and modifying normal recipes, and people generally don't even know they are eating gluten-free food that I've served!</p>
