3 tablespoons minced garlic

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed, ovenproof pot, on medium heat, cook the onions with the butter and bacon until tender. Turn the heat up to high and add the garlic, ginger, tomato, spices, and sugar. Stir until vegetables start to lightly caramelize. Add the vinegar, mustard and stock. Stir in the beans. Cover and place in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven.

Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

SWEET AND SPICY BAKED BEANS

These are a delicious blend of sweet and spicy. Use the greater amount of molasses if you like a thicker sweeter taste like I do :). I wrote down this recipe from a magazine ( I can't remember which one), and tweaked it just a little.
