Instructions: Heat oil in large non-aluminum saucepan or soup kettle. Add onions; saute over low heat until soft. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, water, molasses, sugar, soy sauce, allspice, salt and vinegar. Simmer 5 minutes.

Add soybeans; bring to a simmer, cover and cook until sauce has thickened and beans are very tender, about 1-1/2 hours. If mixture looks dry, add up to 1 cup additional water and cook another 10-15 minutes. Add pepper and adjust seasonings.

Note: Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a covered casserole, bake 2 hours at 350 degrees. Uncover; bake 30 minutes more.
