Jerry, the cowboy beans recipe is in the Coors Cookbook I gave you. You should check it out.

I only cook beans in a Griswold Cast iron pot, like both of those.




This book is always available on e-bay. It's a good cookbook. I specially love the coors cornbread.

Ok I see your point.........gotta listen to charles more often he knows this stuff

Cow meaning cattle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle But in any case, when Spotts gets done with them they ain't got no nuts.

The town of Epsom, NH is just east of Concord and they have a community beanhole at Webster Park. Lots of groups get to use it regularly. They cover it with a plate steel top and shovel some dirt over it so it's always ready to go.

I must say, these were the very best beans I've ever had.

Here's some pics of the process: http://www.suite101.com/external_lin...bhbgallery.htm

Recipe

For years I use to make Boston Baked Beans the hard way. You know what I mean. Going through the dried beans looking for small stones, and bad beans. Then there was that over night soaking etc..

One day I came across a brand of baked beans I felt I could work with. Now I have two recipes for these types of beans. One is a heavier non smoked Boston Candy-"ized" Bean. The other is a lighter but it is "smoked." The recipe below is for the smoked/ lighter bean.

If you are into Texas style BBQ beans then these are not for you.

Ingredents:
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
6 oz. Molasses
4 oz. Maple syrup--amber
56 oz Bush Old Style Original Baked Beans
1 Tablespoon Yellow Mustard
2 Teaspoons Dry Mustard
1 pound of quality Bacon
1 good size Onion. Yellow or White. NO SWEET Onion.
Step One:
Take about 60% of the pound of bacon along with the onion that is pealed and cut into 6 pieces place them into your smoker and smoke with Maple for 2 hours. Box temperature 225 F degrees.

Step Two:
Slice the smoked bacon and onion into the size that is shown in the picture.

Add all other ingredients.
Mix until you are sure the brown sugar is complete dissolved and the color is uniform.

Step 3:
Next take remaining (non-smoked) bacon and cover the top of the beans. Place in pre-heated oven 350 F degrees.


Step 4
This is where you can lose it. By over cooking the beans. There is nothing worse than to have a candy-"ized" dried out bean. After 1 to 1 1/2 hours stir your beans. Mixed them up good. After that every 15 minutes you are going to stir the beans again but you are also going to "test" the sauce.

What you are looking for is while the sauce still looks wet and loose in with the hot beans you remove some of the sauce and place it in a glass bowl allowing it to cooL Next spread it up the sides of the bowl, turn the bowl on it side and if the sauce does not run down then your beans are done.

This is why you must ckeck every 15 minutes. You go 15 minutes to long and the moisture of the beans begins to leave. Shortly after that they dry out.

Note in this picture how the sauce on the right hand side did not run down the bowl.


Here is the finished product:


This bean will have a light smoke flavor. Kind of like a sweet little accent. As you can see from final picture these beans have been candy-"ized."

Years ago I made 50 gallons for an outside wedding. There was not a good gallon left to

Done this one for years

To a 28 oz can of Baked Beans, I add:
Brown sugar, ~ 2 tablespoons
"Brer Rabbit, dark" Molasses, ~ 2 tablespoons
Chopped Onions ~ 1/4 to 1/3 cup
Sprinkle of powdered Ginger ~ 1 or 2 teaspoons*
A couple Squirtz of Ketchup, any brand
stir gently
Bake about 45 min to 1 hour at 400 degrees, or until well thickened.

* more ginger will aid the generation of phartz.
