Charlie had been craving baked beans for quite some time, and we’d not managed to find anything in a can that tasted right to both of us.\u00a0 Finally decided to try making them myself.\u00a0 These were really tasty, if a bit sweet for my tastes.\u00a0 Next time will likely try canned tomats as well as ketchup.\u00a0 Then again, I’ve been thinking about making my own ketchup for ages, too, so…\u00a0 we’ll see what happens.\u00a0 I was a bit more..\u00a0 generous with most of the spices compared to the recipe, which turned out to be a good thing.<\/p>\n
1 lb small white navy beans<\/p>\n
2 onions, sliced<\/p>\n
2 bay leaves<\/p>\n
1 tsp salt<\/p>\n
1\/4 tsp pepper<\/p>\n
Ham bone and leftover baked ham<\/p>\n
2 c catsup<\/p>\n
2 c light brown sugar<\/p>\n
1\/3 c vinegar<\/p>\n
2-3 T Worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n
1 T dry mustard<\/p>\n
Soak beans in cold water as per instructions.\u00a0 (Usually 6-12 hours in cold water.)\u00a0 Drain beans, rinse under cold water.\u00a0 Put in a 6 qt kettle, and cover with 5 c water.\u00a0 Add onions, bay leaves, salt, pepper, ham bone, and leftover ham.\u00a0 Bring to boiling.\u00a0 Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour, or until beans are tender, adding more water if needed.\u00a0 Remove ham bone (and bay leaves).\u00a0 Preheat oven to 350.\u00a0 Drain beans mixture, reserving liquid.\u00a0 Put beans into a 4 qt baking dish.\u00a0 Combine catsup, brown sugar, vinegar, W-sauce, and mustard.\u00a0 Mix well.\u00a0 Add to beans.\u00a0 Add enough of the reserved liquid to cover.\u00a0 Bake 3 hours.<\/p>\n
I didn’t actually drain the beans, just added the rest to what was there, as it had cooked down sufficiently.\u00a0 Recipe states 8-10 servings…\u00a0 made quite a bit more than that for us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
