You can use what ever you like..I would still use the pork and beans..but the others are okay.

This sounds a lot like what we call Calico Beans, but we don't use the syrup. We use brown sugar and white granulated sugar, but I bet using syrup instead of granulated sugar would be really good. Also, we use not quite so much ketchup, and only 3 kinds of beans. Either way, this is a delicious dish!

Scrapple is a Pennsylvania Dutch concoction. In the fall when farmers butcher their hogs, they make bacon, ribs, and hams. They do not waste anything. All the scraps of meat are ground up and cooked with cornmeal and water with some added salt and pepper. After this cooks down to a thick soup it is poured into loaf pans and refrigerated. It forms a firm loaf. It is sliced and rolled in flour then deep fried. Some people eat it with syrup on it..others mustard..or ketchup.
There is another dish similar to this called "Puddin". It doesn't have cornmeal in it and is cooked the same way..then put in a loaf pan. To cook it..it is cut into cubes and water added. When it is like a thick meat sauce..it is served on Hominy or pancakes.
If you ever come to Pennsylvania..visit Lancaster county..the culture and food is very homey and basic. Did I mention the great fabric stores and the prices unbelievable.

King syrup is a dark syrup almost like karo syrup. I think you could use dark brown sugar or molassas.
