Low-N-Slow Boston Baked Beans image

The beans can be made ahead. After cooking, cool them to room temp and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Note: It is NOT NECESSARY to soak the beans before using in this recipe; hence the long cooking time. Do not use old dried beans for this recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces salt pork, trimmed of rind and cut into 1/2 pieces 2 ounces bacon, cut into 1/4 pieces (about 2 slices)
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup mild molasses, plus
1 tablespoon mild molasses

  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 300 degrees.

These beans were a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less molasses next time.

I added some chopped bacon to my beans and they were delicious! I also used a different type of molasses, which gave them a slightly different flavor. But they were still really good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I usually make a big batch of beans on Sunday and then eat them throughout the week. They're also great for freezing.
