Traditional Boston Baked Beans
1 lb Navy Beans 1/3 cup molasses
6 cups water 1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 lb salt pork, cut in 1/2 inch pieces 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 small onion, peeled
Soak beans overnight with the 6 cups of water in a large kettle. The next day add the 1/2 tsp baking soda to the beans. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Drain beans in a colander set over a large bowl and reserve the liquid. Put the salt pork, onions and beans in a stoneware bean pot or a casserole dish. In a small bowl combine the molasses, sugar, dry mustard and pepper. Stir in 1 cup of the reserves liquid, then stir this mixture into the beans. Add enough of the reserved liquid to cover the beans-about 1 cup. Cover the casserole/beanpot and bake at 300 degrees for 2 hours. Thoroughly stir in the remaining cup of reserved liquid, cover and bake another 1-1/2 to 2 hours until the beans are tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Serves 8 Traditional New England Style Baked Beans. This comforting, homey dish is delightfully flavored with salt pork molasses, onion, dry mustard and sugar. Boston baked beans have been made this way for centuries and never contain even a hint of tomato! They are the perfect picnic food and pair well with grilled chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs or just served up with a side of cornbread!
How to Make Boston Baked Beans ~ A New England Saturday Tradition!
Let this native New Englander show you how simple it is to make real Boston Baked Beans, just as they have been made since Colonial days, and I'll even show you a couple of favorite New England variations.
RECIPE:
Boston Baked Beans
1 lb. dried Navy, Soldier, Pea, or other favorite beans.
6 Tbs. brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup Grandma's dark molasses
2 tsp. dry Coleman's mustard
1 tsp. salt
1 medium onion, chopped coarsely
4-6 oz. fat salt pork belly, scored crosswise to rind in 1/2 inch squares. Do not cut through rind. Hint: pork cuts easier if frozen.
DIRECTIONS:
Pick over beans for defects or stones, wash, and soak overnight in 1-1/2 gallons water.
In morning, parboil about 25 minutes. Skins will crack open when blown upon. Do not add any salt.
Remove beans with slotted spoon to crock, but reserve the liquid, which will be needed throughout cooking for replenishment.
Add remaining ingredients and stir in enough of the reserved liquid generously to completely cover. Place pork on top of beans with the cut pork belly side down, with rind facing up.
Cover with crockery lid or cover loosely with foil. Do not seal tightly.
Check at least every 90 minutes and don't allow beans to dry out. Replenish with reserved parboil water as needed during cooking to maintain liquid.
Bake at 275° F for six hours, or until tender.
NOTE: Kidney, yellow-eye and certain others require longer cooking times at increased temperature of 300°.
Classic Boston Baked Beans
How to make homemade old fashioned Boston Baked Beans, they are really good!
Ingredients:
1 pound navy beans (soaked overnight)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 small or medium onion
1/2 pound bacon
3/8 cup molasses (1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons)
4 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 teaspoons table salt
water
Bake 6 hours @ 300F, I did turn the oven down to 250F for the last 30 minutes
These beans are dynamite!
NOTE*** You need to check on this every two hours to make sure all the water has not evaporated, you want most of the water to evaporate but not completely.
If you add water (I did not have to) make sure to add HOT water, cold water could crack your casserole dish.

Baked Beans Recipe | Boston Baked Beans | Budget recipes | Slow Cooker Recipes
Hi Neighbours, today I thought I would share an easy Boston Baked Bean recipe. It would be great for Canada Day BBQ or 4th of July for sure. The recipe is below. I made it in my slow cooker as not to heat up the house and they turned out really well. Let me know what you think in the comment section below.
Servings: 4-6
Cook time: low 6-7 /high 3-4 or until beans are tender
1 lb small dry white beans ( I used Navy Beans / The navy bean, haricot, pearl haricot bean, Boston bean, white pea bean)
3 1/2 cups of ham or beef broth or water
2-4 drops of liquid smoke ( optional)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
6 slices bacon, chopped
1/4 cup light molasses
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp. dry mustard Or you can add in some regular mustard like 2 tablespoons
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper or to taste
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1 1/2 tsp. salt at the end to taste
Rinse beans with cold running water and discard any stones or shriveled beans or really soft beans. In a large bowl, place beans and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Cover and let stand at
room temperature overnight. (Or, in a 6-qt sauce pot, place beans and enough water to
cover by 2 inches. Heat to boiling over high heat; Remove from heat;
cover and let stand 1 hour or 2.) Drain and rinse beans. In 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 quart slow cooker,
stir 3 1/2 cups ham broth, or beef broth or water with beans and remaining ingredients except salt until blended. I add salt to taste at the end of cook time.
Cover slow cooker with lid and cook beans on low setting about 6-7 hours or High for 3-4 until beans are tender and sauce is syrupy. Stir salt into bean mixture before serving. I cooked on low for almost 4 hours then I removed cover and let sit on warm or off and let beans absorb more of the syrupy mixture we made.
Enjoy and let me know if you give this a try.

Operation: Homemade Baked Beans
An adventure in beans and tomato sauce brings me to this project. Attempting to make homemade Heinz style baked beans. UK style beans are different to others in some Countries, perhaps a little less sweet / smokey in some ways - stored in a tomato sauce with a mild sweet kick they are the ultimate comfort food! This was a recipe to make UK style ones from home and I picked up some cool tips along the way, i'm not sure if i'd do it again but it was really fun to make my own, they were fresher and tasted identical! Check out the recipe if you fancy giving it a try for yourself!
