Instructions

1
No need to do these steps if using canned beans, start with Step 1 under "Baked Beans" below.
2
Soak beans in a big bowl of water for 8 - 24 hrs, then drain.
3
Skim foam - Place beans in a large pot of water over high heat. Bring to a simmer, then skim off foam.
4
Simmer Reduce heat so it's simmering gently (medium or medium low). Partially cover with lid (leaving a crack for steam to escape), then cook for 1 - 1.5 hrs until just tender. (Start checking at 45 min). Beans should be still slightly firm on inside (they're cooked more in the sauce). Drain, use per recipe.
5
Mix - Place all Baked Beans ingredients in a pot (except beans) and stir, then add beans.
6
Simmer - Bring to a simmer, then lower heat to medium low and simmer for 20 minutes, without the lid. Stir every now and then so the beans don't catch on the bottom of the pot.
7
Mix cornflour with water. Pour into pot while stirring, then cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens - it will thicken quickly. (Note 3)
8
Check for salt: Taste and add more salt if needed.
9
Serve it the traditional way - piled over hot buttered toast. Or ladle into bowls, eat with a spoon and dunk in hot crusty bread! Popular breads - simple crusty Artisan bread, Irish Soda Bread (No yeast) and No Yeast Sandwich Bread
