Quicker Boston Baked Beans (Cook's Country) Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound dried navy beans (about 2 cups), picked over and rinsed
1 tablespoon baking soda
6 ounces salt pork , rind removed and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 onion, chopped fine
3 cups water
5 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon molasses
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • *Liquids evaporate faster in the oven in heavy cast-iron Dutch ovens than in lighter pots. If you're using a heavy pot, increase the water to 4 1/2 cups. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring 3 quarts water, beans, and baking soda to boil in Dutch oven over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer briskly for 20 minutes. Drain beans in colander. Rinse beans and pot. Cook salt pork in now-empty pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in water*, beans, sugar, 1/4 cup molasses, Worcestershire, 1 tablespoon mustard, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to boil. Cover, transfer to oven, and cook until beans are nearly tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove lid and continue to bake until beans are completely tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon molasses and remaining 1 teaspoon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve. (Beans can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.) TASTING NOTES: I have a personal preference for more sweet, than savory, when I eat Boston Baked Beans. I added about 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup brown sugar to the baked beans. That did it for me!
