Soak beans overnight. Pour boiling water over beans, onions, tomatoes and fatback. Dissolve remaining ingredients in hot water and stir into beans. This is the only time that you stir mixture. Bake in 350 degree oven 10-12 hours, adding water when necessary. Cook last hour uncovered. Do not stir while beans are baking.
Note: Instead of soaking beans overnight, beans may be washed and then brought to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and let stand for one hour. At the end of the hour continue directions above.
