Cookbook:Boston Baked Beans

Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes

Ingredients

• 6 rashers thick cut bacon, sliced (or 5 drops liquid smoke)
• 4 cups canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• ½ cup molasses
• ¼ cup blackstrap molasses, plus more as needed
• ¼ cup dark brown sugar
• 2 tbsp dark rum
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp dry mustard

Procedure

1. Cook bacon. Separate from fat and place 1 tbsp of the bacon fat into a large stainless steel pan. Add kidney beans and sauté over medium high heat. Add rum and tilt to ignite (If you do not have a gas stove, simply light with a fire stick).
2. Add remaining ingredients and bacon and fold to combine. Bake in a 325°F oven for 1 ½ hours, adding blackstrap molasses occasionally to prevent drying.
