A wonderful old-fashioned baked bean flavor. This recipe has served by family for 29 years and originally came from my mother-in-law. It tastes great served with fresh cornbread or biscuits and honey. Although you need to allow time for soaking and simmering the beans, this recipe is still quite easy.

Time 10h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound dry navy beans
6 cups water
1 pinch baking soda
1 bay leaf
6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, diced
⅓ cup molasses
¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder

BOSTON BAKED BEANS



Boston Baked Beans image

Squat, glazed ceramic bean pots lurk in cabinets all over New England. They're traditional for Boston baked beans, but enameled cast iron is faster. Beans in cast iron can be brought to a boil over a burner before the dish goes into the oven; this saves about an hour.

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dried navy or Great Northern beans
1/2 pound salt pork or bacon, rind removed, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup dark molasses or maple syrup, preferably Grade B
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons mustard powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon pepper, plus more to taste
1 thyme branch (optional)
1 bay leaf (optional)
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon cider vinegar, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Pick through the beans for stones, rinse them thoroughly and soak in water overnight. (Leave soaking until ready to cook; you'll need the water.)
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place a Dutch oven, 5-quart size or larger, over low heat. Add the salt pork or bacon and fry until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Raise heat to medium and stir in the onion. Cook until onion is translucent, stirring occasionally, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the beans to the pan along with enough of the soaking liquid to cover them by 1/2 inch, adding fresh water if needed. Add the garlic cloves, molasses or maple syrup, ketchup, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon pepper and the thyme branch and bay leaf, if using. Stir well and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and put in oven.
  • Check the liquid level in the pot every hour or so, and add hot water as needed to barely cover the beans. Cook until beans are very soft but not falling apart, 2 to 3 hours. Remove from oven. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon vinegar; let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then taste a bean and some liquid, adding more salt, pepper or vinegar, if you like. Serve, or cool completely and reheat.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. You can also quick-soak the beans by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for an hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to use a variety of beans in your Boston baked beans. Some popular options include navy beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Add some sweetness: Boston baked beans are typically sweetened with molasses or brown sugar. You can also add a little bit of honey or maple syrup.
  • Don't forget the bacon: Bacon is a classic ingredient in Boston baked beans. It adds a smoky flavor and helps to thicken the sauce.
  • Bake the beans low and slow: Boston baked beans are best when they are baked low and slow. This allows the flavors to develop and the beans to become tender.

Conclusion:

Boston baked beans are a delicious and classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give Boston baked beans a try!
