Directions
Boston Baked Beans, I don’t know where I got this recipe that I’ve been using for years but it is definitely a man pleaser! I think that a ham bone gives the best flavour but will use an 8 oz piece of salt pork when necessary., 1st time making baked beans from scratch. Easy recipe but tasted about 5 hrs in and as others had mentioned was missing something. I decided it was MAPLE! 2 TBLS maple syrup and best beans ever. Thx 4 easy recipe., Instead of baking can cook the beans in a crock pot?
