Well I have been looking for a good baked beans recipe for a while. I decided today that I would wing it, combining a couple of my favourites and such...

What I have come up with is..

2lb (4 good cups) White Beans,
10 cups cold water,
2 med onion, sliced,
1 tbsp. salt,
4 tsp. cider vinegar,
1/2 cup. brown sugar,
1 tsp. prepared mustard,
1/2 cup Crosby's/Grandma Fancy Molasses,
1/2 cup tomato ketchup (no salt added ketchup),
Pinch black pepper,
1 lb. pork or bacon, sliced bacon, ham, fat back..
12 cans of Kilkenny (2 for recipe)


SOAK BEANS OVERNIGHT in cold water ( have a Kilkenny immediately after soaking). Next morning Drain. Add 10 cups cold water, cover, heat to boiling, then simmer 1 hr minutes or until tender ( during this hour drink three Kilkenny). Drain. Add the beans to your cook pot ( I put a little bacon or pork and onions in the bottom). Add remaining ingredients in with the beans, stirring gently to combine, ( have a kilkenny) Add enough Kilkenny (2) to cover mixture, and then place sliced lean pork on top. Cover with lid and bake in oven at 250 degrees for 7 hours (drink all but one Kilkenny over this time). When beans are tender, remove 1 cup of beans, mash, and then stir back into pot carefully. Cover and continue to bake. Add water as needed to keep beans covered. One hour before serving,
remove cover to darken up the beans. Salt to taste.
While eating, finish off remaining Kilkenny.
Serves 12 -16.

After a night's soak, boil em up by's

Awww Gigiddy!! Canned baked beans are so full of suger and salt that i just cant eat them. Looks good Sealclubber I have a ham from X-mas that never got cooked too. HMMMM........

Just make sure to keep you bedroom door open tonight to vent the gasses.:)
 
I love that it's written in 'Newf' to boot! :p

Looks pretty damned good, Seal... pretty similar to my family's recipe for beans except we use Newcastle Brown instead of Kilkenny. I think Kilkenny would be a good addition though!

The beans are delicious !! I threw up another pic in the OP

I took out about three cups and really mashed them and stirred them back in.. makes them real thick and bit more sticky (I like them like that)

The beer added a very subtle falvour,..but it is there in the background unmistakably (word?)

The beans are not overly sweet, however... I believe you could get away with cutting back some of the sugar.

The ham, rather than bacon was a real pleaser. It's a maple ham from my butcher (we usually fry a slice or two for breakfasts in Christmas)

I have used back bacon before, and although I Love back bacon, it's not for beans IMO. The really thick sliced side bacon with maple is very good too.

The Salt Pork (fat back) really salted it nicely and gave that extra bit of flavour.

I grew up on baked beans made my grandmothers, Mom and recently Dad.

I can see why it was so popular back when my Nan was cooking for a half a dozen youngsters and a another half dozen Fishermen including my Pop...

2 lbs of beans, some kinda pork or pork left overs, a bit of mollases, sugar, ketchup and you can feed an army.

I have seen them made with just molasses, brown sugar, beans, and bit of pork ends...and they have tasted just find when you're hungry.
 
the term 'chummy' confuses me. When I was surveying, my slash crew were all from Newfoundland, and used the term "Chummy" for just about EVERYTHING.

but all in all, the beans look tasty. I should cook up a batch sometime, since the canned stuff is bland in all flavors but sweet. I like my beans a lot smokier, with some spicy.
 
Looks great!
It may be just a coincidence but, I noticed that the more Kilkenny added in the recipe, the more "Newf" this recipe got. ;)
