Thank Edna Lewis for these beautiful baked beans

"My mother often served us a supper of kidney bean soup or a pot of baked beans on a winter night," Edna Lewis writes in her 1976 classic, "The Taste of Country Cooking," adding that the rest of the menu included cornbread studded with pork cracklings, salsify bathed in butter and cream, and a jelly roll filled with the fruit preserves of summer.
