BBQ BAKED BEANS (SUGAR-FREE)
From The Allergy Self-Help Cookbook by Marjorie Hurt Jones, c. 2001. Commerically prepared baked beans can be a problem for people with allergies because they often contain sugar and corn syrup, plus ambiguous ingredients such as modified food starch and "natural flavoring." Slowly baking these beans contributes to their wonderful flavor and aroma.

SUGAR-FREE BAKED BEANS
Originally from a diabetic cookbook, it's my preferred way to enjoy baked beans, even though I'm not diabetic (DH is), because it's so easy and the taste is rich & savoury, without all the creamy sauce. Canned beans work just as well, if you like. 240 calories per serving, 35 g carbs, 9 g protein, 7 g fat. Prep time does not include soaking beans overnight and cooking them beforehand (they would need only 20 minutes cooking time to be ready to use).
