Gran's Baked Beans
My 93 year young grandmother-in-law finally wrote this recipe out for me. it is a huge family favorite that is a big hit even with those who don't enjoy traditional baked beans. not real sweet, great with ham, or for a pot luck.
Steps
In large pot , cover beans with water , about 2 inches above beans.
Bring to a boil and remove from heat after 2 minutes.
Let stand one hour adding enough water to keep beans covered if necessary.
Return beans to the stove on very low heat for 1 hour.
Drain and reserve liquid.
Turn beans into a large casserole and add butter , salt , pepper , sugar , onions and one cup of reserved liquid.
Bake uncovered at 300f for 3 1 / 2 - 4 hours.
Do not stir too much or beans could get mushy.
Add reserved liquid if required to keep beans moist.
Ingredients
dried white pea beans, butter, salt, pepper, white sugar, onion
