Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups dried navy or pea beans
- 1 small onion, peeled
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Crosby’s Fancy Molasses
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 tsp. dried mustard
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1 slice of bacon, chopped or 1 Tbsp. butter or olive oil
- Boiling water
Instructions
- Soak 2 cups of dried navy or white beans in water overnight.
- The next day, drain the beans, put them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes (or until the skins break when you blow on them).
- Preheat oven to 300 F.
- Drain the beans and put them in a large ovenproof pot or bean crock. Bury peeled onion in the middle of the beans.
- Mix together and pour over the beans: brown sugar, molasses, salt, dry mustard and pepper. Dab with the butter or oil, or sprinkle bacon pieces, overtop.
- Pour over enough boiling water to just cover the beans.
- Cover the pot and cook for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary so the beans do not dry out. Take the lid off for the last half hour of cooking.
Notes
Add half a peeled apple to the mixture along with the onion for an added layer of flavour.
