New England Baked Beans Recipe

New England Baked Beans

From pat2me 16 years ago

Authentic New England baked beans, rich and dark in color. Serve with brown bread and ham or hot dogs for an old fashioned Saturday night supper!

Sort through beans (take out all the little stones and any shriveled beans)
Cover with 6 cups of cold water.
Soak overnite.
Change water next morning, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until just knife tender.
Drain, reserving liquid.
Cut 2 medium onions in quarters, place in bottom of standard size bean pot or crock pot. Add drained beans to pot. Cut salt pork every ½ inch to rind, push into beans up to the rind, leaving rind exposed.
Mix 1 C of liquid and remaining ingredients; pour over beans add reserved liquid to just barely cover the beans.
Cover and place in 300 oven for 6 to 8 hours or until beans are tender and sauce is rich and dark caramel, adding reserved liquid as needed
If using Crock pot allow about 10 to 12 hours, add liquid if needed and then cook until color is a rich and dark caramel. If doubling use a 5 1/2 qt crock pot
A Dutch oven will also work perfectly in the oven if you don't have a bean pot

It is a not very sweet baked bean recipe. For my taste you can leave out the 1t salt because it did turn out with a little salty taste.

Was at the store to buy some salt pork and right next to it was some already cut up salt pork with some meat attached to it, so I decided to use that instead of the block salt pork.

Yum! I LOVE homemade baked beans! Nothing wrong with spreading bacon slices over the top for the last hour of baking without the cover. Thanks for this deliicious recipe!
