OLD FASHIONED FRENCH CANADIAN BAKED BEANS
This was a staple for me growing up in Quebec and brings back many happy memories. A perfect winter comfort food!!! I have tweaked an original recipe and wanted to share it with you. Great at breakfast with fried egg and sausage. A hearty meal with crusty bread and salad. It takes some time but well worth the wait -- I hope you enjoy them. Special note: some people prefer using salt pork when preparing baked beans - I use sliced bacon instead.

REAL OLD FASHION OVEN BAKED BEANS
Doctored-up "canned beans" are OK if you're in a hurry...I've done it more than once, but for REAL Baked Beans, give these a try! The aroma of them baking in the oven is heavenly!!! A stoneware bean pot is preferred, but you can use a small covered roaster or casserole if need be. My Dad always used lean salt pork, but I prefer to use a good smoked bacon.

- Place in a large kettle & cover with water, about 3 inches above the beans.

- Drain & reserve the bean water.
- Preheat oven to 300°.

- (Use double-thick aluminum foil to cover if need to.).

- Add aromatics like onion, garlic, and celery to the pot for extra flavor.

- Add a touch of sweetness with brown sugar or molasses.
