Soak beans according to directions. Add salt pork, onion, bay leaf and salt. Cover and simmer 1 hour. Remove bay leaf. Drain and reserve 1 cup liquid. Add reserved liquid and remaining ingredients. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 3 to 4 hours. Serve with baked spareribs. Garnish platter with parsley and spiced crab apples. Makes 6 to 8 servings. HINT: Add tomatoes, vinegar or other acid additions when beans are nearly tender so softening of beans does not slow down.
