Drain and rinse beans. Return beans to Dutch oven; cover with remaining water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until almost tender. Drain and reserve liquid.

MAPLE BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Fill a stockpot with the beans and enough cold water to cover them. Bring the water to a boil and parboil the beans for approximately 20 minutes. Drain the water and reserve for later use. Place 4 salt pork cubes and half of the onion on the bottom of the bean pot. Fill the pot 3/4 full with beans. Add the Bean Goop. Fill the rest of the pot with the reserved water. Place the remaining cubes of salt pork and onion on top of the beans. Cover first with a layer of plastic wrap, then a layer of aluminum foil. Bake in the oven for 10 hours. Check beans at that time, blowing on them to see if the skin peels back. If so, they are finished. Time will vary depending on your oven and how long the beans were parboiled in the beginning. Cooking time could increase to as long as 12 hours total.
• In a large bowl or medium-size saucepan, mix the hot water with the sugars and molasses to dissolve the sugars. Then mix in all remaining ingredients. Set aside for use in the Baked Beans.

MAPLE BAKED PORK AND BEANS

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight as directed on package. Drain well. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place the navy beans in a baking dish. Remove the rind from the salt pork in one continuous piece. Set aside. Cut the remaining salt pork into small strips. Heat a pan of water to boiling and add the rind and strips and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water. Add the strips of salt pork to the beans. Stir in the onions, ketchup, maple syrup, brown sugar, mustard, cayenne, and hot water. Stir well to combine. Place the rind on top of the bean mixture. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Place in the oven and bake for 3 hours at 250 degrees F. Remove the rind, recover the dish, and bake at 250 degrees F for 3-5 hours longer or until the beans are tender and the sauce is thick. Check the beans once or twice during the cooking time and add additional water if needed.

SLOW-COOKED MAPLE SYRUP BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Drain the beans and place them in a large pot with enough fresh, cool water to cover 2-inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, or until a bean is tender enough to mash easily. Keep an eye on the pot and make sure there is plenty of water, add more as needed.
• Preheat the oven to 325 F. Drain excess water from the beans and place them in an ovenproof casserole dish or dutch oven.
• Cook the bacon over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet until limp. Alternatively, you can cook the bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil for 10 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Add the bacon to the beans.
• Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat in the pan. Add the onions and cook over medium-low heat until tender and slightly brown. (If you cooked the bacon in the oven, use a new saute pan with 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.) Add the onion to the beans.
• Add the maple syrup and mustard to the beans and stir to blend thoroughly.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Cover the casserole loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven 2 to 3 hours. If the beans seem too dry, add up to 1/2 cup water. The beans are done when the liquid is very thick. This recipe comes from the Culinary Institute of America and is served in their American Bounty Restaurant.
