Back in July I made a batch of Boston Baked beans from the 37th edition of the Ball blue book and it says 4 qts of navy beans, about 1 lb. I just went with the 1 lb and bought one bag of beans and made it. Turned out great but only made 4 pts instead of 6. Today I decided to make another batch and grabbed the 38th edition of the book that I purchased a few months ago, it’s the exact same recipe except that it lists 4qts, about 2 lbs. Again I just went with the weight measurement and grabbed 2 bags of beans. As I was preparing everything I felt like I had so much more beans than last time and grabbed the other book to compare 🤦🏻♀️. I’m sure I’ll get the full 6 pints this time.

From now on I would go by volume (1 qt) instead of weight since the recipes are inconsistent. How did they turn out?
Out of curiosity, where does one find salt pork? Can bacon or anything else be substituted?
Good catch!!!
