I cook on low for 10 hours. I don't soak overnight; I've had great success with boiling for an hour. I also use Navy beans and add in 8 slices of chopped bacon and a generous squirt of prepared mustard in addition to the dry. Taste the sauce mid-way through and add more ketchup or molasses if needed. They also freeze super well!Katie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034352054614025747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250327866252887762.post-65467779059743377612012-03-03T12:31:43.819-04:002012-03-03T12:31:43.819-04:00I like canned baked beans and use canned other bea...I like canned baked beans and use canned other beans for recipes because I can count on them.Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17761748995643399364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250327866252887762.post-42904610160215980052012-03-03T12:30:44.129-04:002012-03-03T12:30:44.129-04:00I just put the kids down for a nap, we can Skype t...I just put the kids down for a nap, we can Skype tonight?<br /><br />Thanks for this recipe. Seems my "weak link" may be the age of the beans. I do soak them. I do quick method cook them. I do wait to put salt in them until they are at the desired texture (but I never really achieve the desired texture). Geez. <br /><br />Aunt Clare had some of this bread this morning and really enjoyed it.<br /><br />I SAW the big box of bananas, that's WILD! I wouldn't know what to do with all those bananas all at once - I don't have a food dehydrator but you are certainly making me consider it. It'd be a great way to put food aside and stuff to add to the granola that they love so much.Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17761748995643399364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250327866252887762.post-57742058692084275732012-03-03T08:24:32.839-04:002012-03-03T08:24:32.839-04:00I do my baked beans in the crockpot but they have ...I do my baked beans in the crockpot but they have to be soaked the night before or you can "quick soak" them by bring them to a boil and letting them sit. Once again, your beans can't be old. The older the beans the harder they will be. I can give you Auntie Ada's recipe:<br /><br />2 lbs beans (soaked overnight)<br />1 tsp dry mustard<br />2/3 cup brown sugar<br />1/2 c ketchup<br />1 c molasses<br />2 tsp salt<br />dash pepper <br />2 small onions<br />dash of liquid smoke (optional..this is my addition)<br /><br />Rinse beans and cook them for 10 minutes before putting them in crockpot. Add all ingredients and cover with water. Cook about 12 hours on low (although this could take up to 20 hours). Precooking them should cut down on the time.<br /><br />If you want a maple sugar flavor, substitute some of the sweetners in the beans for maple syrup.<br />------------------<br /><br />I'm going to try your bread recipe...it looks delicious!!<br />------------<br />Check your email for a picture of bananas I scored this week. I'm going to experiment with banana bread to make a whole wheat one with no added sugar. Wish me luck. <br />--------------------------<br /><br />Skypless Maureen :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250327866252887762.post-84809699455733600822012-03-02T16:59:46.979-04:002012-03-02T16:59:46.979-04:00I too cannot make beans unless thy come out of a c...I too cannot make beans unless thy come out of a can.
