Berry Beer Baked Beans Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees, and place rack in lower third.
  • In a large oven-proof casserole , heat the olive oil and saute the red onion for a minute or so.
  • Stir in the molasses, mustard, red pepper flakes, beans, beer, dried berries, and broth.
  • Bring to a simmer, cover, and place in oven for roughly 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until beans are tender.
  • Every batch of beans is different, and they'll decide for themselves when they're done.
  • After an hour or so, (carefully) check every 25 minutes to see how the beans are doing.
  • When the beans are tender remove the pot from the oven. In the off chance they need more liquid during the baking process, add more broth (or water) 1/2 cup at a time.
  • More likely, if the beans finish cooking before the cooking broth really thickens up, pull the pot back up onto the stove top, uncover, and bring the pot to a boil until the liquid has more body - usually 5 - 10 minutes.
  • Now it's time to season the pot.
  • Stir in the smoked paprika and a few big, generous pinches of salt.
  • Wait a minute and then taste, you definitely need enough salt and to make the flavors pop and to counter-balance the sweetness of the molasses and fruit - the smoked paprika helps balance in this regard as well.
  • A big pot - serves 8 - 10.

    Midge, I'd probably want real plain beer instead.
