SWEET AND SOUR BAKED BEANS - WITH A KICK
When the weather turns cold, there is nothing nicer then a bowl of something hot to warm your soul. Packed with protein, loaded with flavour, and very economical. May be served as a side dish, or by itself with a hunk of fresh bread. Don't want to waste that sauce. Created for the 2010 Dining on a Dollar Contest. Update: Nov 10/10 - Based on the reviews made during the contest, I have reduced the amount of vinegar by half in the ingredient list. It certainly would be easier to add extra vinegar, then try to reduce it. If there's another 'Vinegar Freak' out there, the original amount was 3 tbsp. :) Thanks to the chefs that made and reviewed the recipe.

Tips: The Best Sweet Sour Baked Beans
- Use high-quality ingredients: Start with the best possible ingredients for the best possible flavor. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful beans, and a good quality vinegar.
- Don't skip the soaking step: Soaking the beans overnight helps to remove some of the starch and makes them more tender. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans all work well in this recipe.
- Add some heat: If you like a little bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the beans. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers.
- Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans are mushy and bland. Cook the beans until they are just tender, but still hold their shape.
