Add salt to beans and water; cover and simmer till beans are tender, about 1 hour. Drain, reserving liquid. Measure 2 cups liquid, adding water if needed; mix with molasses, brown sugar, and spices. Cut salt pork, bacon or ham in small pieces. In 2-quart bean pot or casserole (I prefer the bean pot), combine beans, onion and chopped pork. Pour molasses mixture over.
