Full of beans
For over a decade Ray Scotchmer from the Huron County Museum, with help
from the Friends of the Museum has cooked up a kettle full of beans for visitors
to the Reunion to enjoy.
Baked beans aroma
attracts large crowd
continued from A-16
tomato juice, three bottles of ketchup, three
kilograms of sugar, three pounds of butter
and salt and pepper and garlic to taste.
The work begins at 6 a.m. in order for the
beans to be ready by noon. Mr. Scotchmer
says that he has cooked the pork hocks the
evening before so they will be ready for the
early morning call.
Everything is cooked in a 50 gallon cast
iron kettle over an open fire. A small pot
was used previously, Mr. Scotchmer says,
until one year when it took just three-
quarters of an hour for the hungry visitors to
empty it. By noon the aroma has attracted a
crowd, ready to sample the fare.
"We serve the beans in a cup and when
the first one is served it doesn't take long for
the word to get around and then there's a
line-up," says Mr. Scotchmer.
