Baked Beans - Traditional Newfoundland - Bonita's Kitchen

Welcome to Bonita's Kitchen! Today we will be making Baked Beans, made with white beans soaked over night in cold water and so much more. Also in the blue bowl was two chopped white onions, there was a glitch in the video and the scene with the onions was removed. Please see recipe posted below for more details.

Ingredients:
2 medium onions 5 cups cold water
2 tsp cider vinegar, or of choice 1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp mustard ¼ Cup Molasses
½ cup ketchup Pinch black pepper
½ tsp sea salt 1 cup chopped fat pork or bacon
2 cups white pea beans

Preheat oven to 325°F bake for 3:30 to 4:00 hours, covered.

Method:

In a medium boiler with lid add 2 cups of white pea beans top with cold water then cover, ½ tsp sea salt, leave soaking overnight.
When ready to start making the baked beans, you will need a cast iron pot or ceramic pot with a cover.
Start with chopping your onions and add to the bottom of your pot, you can fry them first if you like the caramelization.
Next drain all water off beans, then top with new cold water and boil for 1½ hours on medium heat with cover part way opened. When boiling, drain water into a container and keep for soup or baking, then add the beans to your cast iron pot.
Then add 5 cups of cold water to your pot, in a small bowl mix together the remainder of your ingredients except your pork.
Mix together, then pour over onions and beans in a pot, mix together then top with fat pork or bacon.
Put the lid on the baking pot then place in a 325°F preheated oven for 3:30 to 4:00 hours, check half way through the bake time, add more water if needed then cover and continue baking.

Bonita’s Tips:
This is a serving for eight people if you like more double recipes. Bake beans can take a long time to make, so I reduced the bake time by adding an extra hour to the boiling process.

When baked beans are done, remove from heat, serve hot or cold. If you would like to bottle them just follow the canning process,    • Best Canning Procedures for a SAFE an...   link to process. Always label and date your bottles before storing them.
Fry onions or fat pork to give the baked beans a caramelization taste.

Roasted red peppers an excellent alternative for replacing ketchup in this recipe. Open up a jar or roast them yourself and puree in the food processor. They will add a pop of color and flavour and a extra tbsp of brown sugar.


I apologize in advance if anything in this video is not clear or miss read, please follow my recipe when making this dish.
