Quebec Baked Beans
"You just can't beat homemade baked beans. These are simply delicious. One of the few things my Mum knew how to cook and this is her recipe. If you have a bean pot...great.. otherwise a round dutch oven will do. I make this recipe and then freeze them into individual containers for 1. They freeze and reheat so well. They also thicken up overnight so don't be scared of too much juice when they are first cooked. "

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Soak beans in pot overnight. Drain water and refill with clean water and boil for 10 minutes
Step 2
Skim off foam and drain but keep drained water for later
Step 3
Put all ingredients into a bean pot or dutch oven and fill with your drained water from the beans. You want to cover the beans with an extra 1 or 2 inches above the beans. Mix well. Reserve any leftover water still for later again
Step 4
Cover your pot and put in 225 oven for 8 hours
Step 5
Check and stir them occasionally if they need some topping off of water use your reserved water. You don't want them to dry out. Towards the end you won't need to add any more water, they shouldn't be swimming near the end but you do want some juice in the pot. Beans are ready when they are tender
