Even before I lived in Boston I loved eating baked beans alongside tofu dogs. I don’t know what took me so long to try to make my own, but now that I have, I’ll never buy the canned kind ever again.
Baked Beans
1 can navy beans, unrinsed
1/2 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup water
1 heaping spoonful of tomato paste
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

I just made the Boston Baked Beans (decided to double the recipe). Oh, my gosh! These were the best baked beans I ever had in my life! I just cut down a bit on the maple syrup and molasses since I have a preference for things being not too sweet and used 2 cans of small white beans since the super market didn’t have navy beans (not sure if they’re the same or not.) So far, the few recipes I’ve made from you have been “right on the money!” BTW, recipe states “beans unrinsed” but that mean they should be “not drained” also? Keep up these great recipes!
I’m so glad you liked them!
As for the beans, they need to be drained but not rinsed.
