Preparation
-
1.Rinse the navy beans under cold water and remove any debris. Place them in a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Let them boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let them soak for 1 hour. Drain and rinse the beans.
-
2.Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
-
3.In a Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
-
4.Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until translucent.
-
5.In a bowl, combine the molasses, maple syrup, ketchup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and ground cloves. Mix well.
-
6.Add the drained navy beans, cooked bacon, and the molasses mixture to the pot. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
-
7.Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 4-5 hours, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
-
8.Remove from the oven and let the beans rest for a few minutes before serving.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Navy beans — Ensure you soak the beans for at least 1 hour to soften them before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and achieve a creamy texture.
- Maple syrup — Opt for pure maple syrup to enhance the flavor profile of the dish. Avoid using artificial pancake syrups, as they may alter the taste.
Tips & Tricks
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of water for added flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, increase the amount of maple syrup or molasses.
- To add a smoky flavor, you can include a small amount of liquid smoke in the molasses mixture.
- Leftover baked beans can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated when needed.
- Serve the baked beans with cornbread or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Serving advice
Serve the Homestyle Maple-Glazed Baked Beans as a side dish alongside grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a main course with a fresh green salad.
Presentation advice
Garnish the baked beans with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chopped green onions to add a pop of color. Serve them in a rustic ceramic dish or individual ramekins for an appealing presentation.
