HOW TO MAKE BOSTON BAKED BEANS RECIPES

Steps:

• Sort beans and rinse in cold water. Place beans in a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker; add 4 cups water. Cover and let stand overnight., Drain and rinse beans, discarding liquid. Return beans to slow cooker; add salt pork., In a small bowl, combine the onion, brown sugar, molasses, sugar, mustard, salt, cloves, pepper and remaining water. Pour mixture over beans; stir to combine., Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or until beans are tender.

Steps:

• The night before you plan to bake your beans, place beans in a large bowl and cover with at least 2 inches of water. Stir in 2 tablespoons kosher salt and let soak overnight, around 12 hours. Preheat oven to 300° and drain beans. In a large dutch oven over medium heat,  add beans and cover with 4 cups of water or enough water to completely cover beans. Add salt pork, onion, garlic, molasses, brown sugar, mustard, pepper, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.  Cover dutch oven and place on middle rack of oven and cook until beans are very tender and approaching a caramel brown color, about 3 to 3 ½ hours. Check beans every hour and add water if beans are no longer submerged. Remove any large pieces of garlic or onion from beans, if desired. Return beans, uncovered, to oven and bake until pork begins to caramelize and beans have a slight crust and a brick red tint, about 1 hour more.  Remove pot from the oven and allow beans to sit uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Sauce will thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper as necessary.
