Maple Baked Beans
This makes a lot of beans! The nice things is they keep for quite a while in the fridge and freeze beautifully!
I sweeten them with molasses and maple syrup however I cannot really taste the maple syrup. We are making maple syrup now so I felt like baking beans. They turned out really well but take a while to soak and bake.
- 1.8 kg (2 lbs) navy beans, soak in large pan with lots of water overnight, I use a large turkey pan. In the morning rinse, add fresh hot water, 2 tsp salt and cook for 30 minutes, skim the foam off the top and discard.
While the beans are cooking fry up 1 lb of bacon. Take the whole pound and while partially frozen cut into 1/4” pieces. Fry in pan with 4 onions, till softened.
Drain all but about 3 cups of the water from the beans and add the bacon onion mixture and all the below ingredients. Put the lid on and in the oven it goes.
Put in a 250 degree oven for 6-8 hours, start checking every hour after 4 hours. If you find they are getting too dry add more water. If they are done but seem too liquidy then take the top off and bake some more.
I had them of breakfast with a croissant dipped in maple syrup......
