Maple Syrup Baked Beans
Ingredients
- 3 cups (750 ml) dry white beans (navy beans)
- 4 oz (125 g) maple smoked bacon or Black Forest, in one piece
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) dry mustard
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place the beans. Cover with plenty of cold water and soak overnight at room temperature. Add water as needed so that the beans are always covered.
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 150 °C (300 °F).
- In a large saucepan or oven-safe Dutch oven, brown the bacon for 2 minutes. Add the onions and garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the drained beans and remaining ingredients. Add enough cold water to cover 5-cm (2-inch) above the beans. Bring to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, place in the oven and bake for about 4 hours, until the beans are tender. Add water, if necessary, during cooking.
