Their recipe also uses cinnamon and clove

The original recipe uses 1 lb. very lean salt pork cut into 3/4 inch cubes vice bacon. Watch the beans closely when bringing to a boil with the baking soda as it will quickly boil over. Expect allot of foam.
Mom used 1 lb. of beans and cut back on the Sugar, salt, and pepper. I eliminate the salt and use half the sugar.
