Subject: BS:Home style baked beans
I love homemade baked beans. They are good ahd healthy.
Aearch did not show this topic before, and I am looking for new recipe's. Anyone got any to share. (Sorry, if I've missed recipes posted before).

Here is one I worked out from my taste and other recipes for Black Turtle Beans.

Baked turtle beans
Cover and soak beans in slow cooker (or water for 4 to 6 hours, drain off water.
I pound uncooked turtle beans (black beans)
1/4 to 1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Demerara sugar (or, brown sugar, if you don't have)
2 tablespoon molassess (more if you like them sweeter)
1 large onion chopped
2 slices of partly cooked bacon (pork, or cooked bacon bits)
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tsp worchester sauce (Lea snd Perrins)
1 good size bay leaf
1/4 tsp crushed garlic (optional or vary to taste)
1 tablespoon chicken seasoning powder (I use OXO)
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp cumin (optional, or vary to taste)
1/4 tsp pepper
Dash hot pepper to taste
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon (or more) black bean sauce
enough water to cover beans with water/mixture
Bake beans (oven or slow cookewr) for six hours or until tender(if you overcook, they go mushy, but still good).
