NEWFOUNDLAND BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C).
• In a covered, ovenproof bean pot, casserole or Dutch oven, stir together all ingredients. Bake beans, covered, for 4 hours, adding a little water occasionally, if necessary, to keep the beans moist. Remove cover and bake an additional 30 minutes. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.

GLUTEN-FREE SASSY MOLASSES BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Soak 2 cups of dried navy or white beans in water overnight.
• The next day, drain the beans, put them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes (or until the skins break when you blow on them).
• Preheat oven to 300 F.
• Drain the beans and put them in a large ovenproof pot or bean crock. Bury peeled onion in the middle of the beans.
• Mix together and pour over the beans: brown sugar, molasses, salt, dry mustard and pepper. Dab with the butter or oil, or sprinkle bacon pieces, overtop.
• Pour over enough boiling water to just cover the beans.
• Cover the pot and cook for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary so the beans do not dry out. Take the lid off for the last half hour of cooking.

SLOW COOKER HOMEMADE BEANS

Steps:

• Drain soaking liquid from beans, and place them in a Slow Cooker.
• Stir ketchup, water, molasses, onion, mustard, salt, bacon, and brown sugar into the beans until well mixed.

TRADITIONAL NEWFOUNDLAND BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Pre-heat 325° bake for 3:30 to 4:00 hours, covered. 1. In a medium bowl with lid add 2 cups of white pea beans top with cold water then cover, 1/2 tsp sea salt, leave soaking over night. 2. When ready to start making baked beans, you will need a cast iron pot or ceramic pot with cover. ( Also you can cook these beans in your slow cooker ) 3. Start with chopping your onions and add to the bottom of your cast iron pot. 4. Next drain all water off beans then put beans in a medium boiler with cover and top with new cold water and boil for 1 1/2 hours on medium heat with cover part way opened. 5. When boiling have completed drain water into a container and keep for soup or your baking, then add the beans to your cast iron pot. 6. Then add 5 cups of cold water to your pot, in a small bowl mix together the remainder of your ingredients except your pork. 7. Mix together, then pour over onions and beans in pot, mix together then top with fat pork or bacon. 8. Put lid on bake pot then place in a 325° 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. 9. This is a serving for eight people if you like more double recipe. Bake beans can take a long time to make, I reduced bake time by adding a extra hour on the boiling process. 10. When baked beans are done remove from heat, serve hot or cold. If you would like to bottle them just follow the canning process. Always label and date your bottles before storing them.

OLD-FASHIONED BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring beans, salt and 2 qt. water to a boil; boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; let stand for 1 hour. Drain beans and discard liquid. Return beans to pan. Cover with remaining water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are tender. Drain, reserving liquid. In a greased 2-1/2 qt. baking dish, combine beans, 1 cup liquid, onion, molasses, bacon, brown sugar, mustard and pepper. Cover and bake at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until beans are as thick as desired thickness, stirring occasionally. Add more of the reserved cooking liquid if needed.

NEWFOUNDLAND BOILED BEANS (DAD'S RECIPE)

Steps:

• Pick over beans (i.e., remove and discard any foreign objects, like rocks, and any imperfect beans).
• Rinse and drain beans. Place beans in a large bowl and generously cover with fresh, cold water so they're submerged (and at least two inches or so of water over top). Soak overnight, for about 12 hours.
• The day you are ready to make the boiled beans, remove beans from water. I like to give them another rinse with fresh, cold water. Drain.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven on the stovetop over medium-high heat, add 4 cups of broth, 3 cups of water, smoked ham and one whole onion.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer (about medium-low heat) so you more of a gentler bubbling.
• Cover (with lid slightly ajar) and cook for 60 to 75 minutes or until beans have mostly softened (they were done to my likeness at 60 minutes). Remove whole onion.
• After beans have mostly softened, add remaining chopped onion, celery, carrots, turnip and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. At this point you can sprinkle the vegetables with some salt (about 1/4 teaspoon if you like).
• Add another 1 to 2 cups of water. Bring up to a simmer again (the temperature will drop when you add water) and cook for another 25 to 30 minutes or until the beans are cooked through and the veggies are tender.
• Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of molasses for a little sweetness (or to taste). If you want a looser or thinner consistency, add more broth or water and heat through. Adjust seasoning, if necessary, to your taste. Serve and enjoy! Great with crusty bread for dunking.

SKINNY NEWFOUNDLAND BAKED BEANS (LOW FAT)

Steps:

• Soak navy beans in 6 cups of water overnight.
• In the morning drain the beans and place in a cast iron pot with 2 cups of chopped onions (2 whole medium onions) and 5 cups of water.
• Boil the beans and onions on medium heat for 1.5 or 2 hours with the pot half covered.
• (The beans are cooked when the skins begin to split and you can squish one with your tongue on the roof of your mouth.).
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Drain the bean/onion mixture and return to the cast iron pot with a fresh 5 cups of water.
• Place a whole peeled medium onion in the center of the pot.
• Mix the additional 7 ingredients (vinegar, Splenda, mustard, molasses, ketchup, salt and pepper) and stir into the pot.
• Stir in the chopped turkey bacon.
• Place the covered pot in the oven and bake for 4-6 hours, checking 2 or 3 times to make sure the beans are not drying out. If they appear too dry add another cup of water and continue cooking until they are your desired texture.
