Cover beans with water and soak overnight. The next day, place half of the bacon and onion in the bottom of a dutch oven, and add beans. Place remaining bacon and onion on top. Pour hone over all, sprinkle with salt and ginger, and enough water to cover the beans. Bake at 325°F for about 6 hours or until beans are tender. Add water as needed to make sure beans don't dry out.
