BOSTON BAKED BEANS



Boston Baked Beans image

A wonderful old-fashioned baked bean flavor. This recipe has served by family for 29 years and originally came from my mother-in-law. It tastes great served with fresh cornbread or biscuits and honey. Although you need to allow time for soaking and simmering the beans, this recipe is still quite easy.

BOSTON BAKED BEANS



Boston Baked Beans image

Many hours of cooking over low heat brings complexity to the flavor of baked beans. Some home cooks shy away from baking beans, wary of the long cooking time, but the amount of actual labor involved is minimal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds dried pinto or navy beans
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
4 canned plum tomatoes, seeded and crushed
2 dried bay leaves
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion (about 1 pound), peeled, halved
12 whole cloves
12 ounces salt pork

Steps:

  • Soak the beans in cold water overnight in a large container. Drain in a colander.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine molasses, mustard, brown sugar, tomatoes, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil, and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Stud the onion halves with the cloves, and place in the bottom of a terra-cotta bean pot or Dutch oven.
  • Score the salt pork 1/4 inch deep 1 inch apart, and slice into two even pieces. Transfer to the bean pot. Add the soaked beans. Pour the molasses mixture over beans, stir, and cover. The liquid should cover the beans by 1/2 inch. Add more water if necessary.
  • Transfer to oven to bake, without stirring, until the beans are tender and the liquid has thickened, about 6 hours. Check the beans every 45 minutes, adding more hot water if necessary to keep beans slightly soupy at all times. For the last 50 to 60 minutes of cooking, uncover beans, and, using tongs or a long fork, pull the pork to the surface. Remove from oven, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve.
