Maple Baked Beans With Bacon Food

HOMEMADE QUEBEC MAPLE BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Rinse and sort the beans; remove any pebbles or debris.
• Place the beans in a large bowl.
• Fill with water to submerge the beans with at least two inches of water.
• Soak overnight (8-12 hours).
• The next day, transfer the drained and rinsed beans again to a large pot.
• Re-fill with water and bring to a boil.
• Turn down the heat and simmer for about 45 minutes.
• Remove from heat and rinse again.
• Transfer the rinsed precooked beans to your slow cooker.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, stir together and place the whole onion in the center.
• Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or until the beans are tender. If the mixture appears dry, you can add some water.
• Preheat oven to 225°F.
• Once again, transfer the precooked beans to your dutch oven or a large oven-proof pot.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, cover and cook for approximately 6 hours.
• Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes or so to obtain a nice golden color. As with the slow cooker method, if the beans appear dry, add a little water.

MAPLE BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Place the beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water by 1-inch and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. Drain and rinse the beans and then drain again.
• Place the beans in large pot with 2 quarts water, the onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 50 minutes, or until tender. A good test is to scoop up several beans in a spoon and blow on them: if the skin starts to peel off, they're done. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, chili paste, ginger, salt, and 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid, still reserving the remaining liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat for 6 minutes.
• Transfer the beans to a medium Dutch oven or a bean pot. Push half the bacon into the beans and place the rest on the top. Pour the maple syrup sauce over the beans. Place the lid on top and bake for 6 to 8 hours. Check occasionally; if the beans are too dry, add 1/2 cup more of the cooking liquid. If you like, you can remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce. Discard the bay leaf. Serve hot.

• Add the red onions and green pepper, season with salt and pepper and saute over medium-high heat until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, barbeque sauce, maple syrup, vinegar and mustard. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the beans, about 45 minutes.
