These are the best baked beans i've ever tried, bar none. The beans need to soak for at least 12 hours before being used in the recipe.

Remove onions and set aside.

In a saucepan , combine maple syrup , molasses , pepper , mustard , ketchup , tomato paste , brown sugar , tabasco , the orange juice , the pineapple juice , the coffee and the stock.
