Maple and Bourbon baked beans

Bacon beans

Ingredients

• 2 cups of dry white beans
• 6 cups of water
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1/2 lb of salted bacon or ham
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of dark balsamic maple and bourbon
• 1 tsp dry mustard
• 1/4 tsp of pepper
• 1 tsp salt

Preparation

1. The day before or early in the morning, wash the white beans and soak them in water for 12 hours. Add water along the way if the beans absorb too much.
2. The next day, drain the beans and pour them into a pot (I prefer a cast iron dish or a really good ceramic pot for baked beans!).
3. Mix all the other ingredients and add them to the beans.
4. Cover the beans with water (the water should be one inch above the beans).
5. Bake in the oven for 6 hours at 250°F. Add water as needed. Uncover for the last 30 minutes.
