1-13-23 Hi Karen. Husband and I are sitting here eating your recipe of Boston baked beans. They are so delicious and easy to make. I did a double recipe. It is a cold windy day here so baked beans are a comfort food. This is now my go to recipe. Thank you for sharing it. Kate

Tanya, I do hope you try the recipe!

[@priscillabergeron1151]

This recipe's ingredients are very similar to my grandmother's which are in my oven right now. However, the cooking times are quite different. Her recipe calls for a total of 7-8 at 300. She used to bake beans and brown bread EVERY Saturday night and sell to the neighbors :) They loved them. I don't think the ones that I'm baking right now would sell, haha. I'll keep trying......................

[@d35martin1]

Same here. Every Saturday night in Maine. Beans and Brown bread was our Saturday Night Special !

[@priscillabergeron1151]

@@d35martin1 This was in Maine as well :)

[@brianshaw373]

Totally agree. The beans get darker and richer with more time in the oven.

I love Boston Baked Beans! I just realized that I have not had them for a long time.....

[@Mel-up1mg]

My mother-in-law has the same bean pot as you. She taught me to make beans. The only difference is we add some maple syrup. LOVE these beans!!

[@ThatBernie]

I love that bean pot! Cooking with earthenware equipment is just so much more satisfying.

[@Ok-wo1mr]

Thank you! I finally had success with my bean pot. I followed your recipe and they turned out tender and delicious!

[@jenniferrobbinsmullin3417]

I find cooking very relaxing. I accept that sometimes things are going to go wrong, sometimes spectacularly so, but the food is still edible, and I've learned a valuable lesson on what not to do the next time! i really enjoyed your video on baked beans.

[@bridgettewood1713]

If you don't own a bean pot, can I use a dutch oven?

[@kathystarling1308]

Thank you. I can’t wait to try this recipe.

I am definitely going to make these. She makes it look like it is easy....and it is! I know I do not have to use a bean pot but it looks so good in the pot when done, I am going to get one!

[@philstorer2352]

Almost how my mother taught me. I do soak them overnight and the next morning drain the water and add fresh. I add the ingredients except the salt port and molasses and parboil, Add the beans to the pot, then the molasses and the pork, 4 hours covered and 2 uncovered adding water when needed. Almost the same but I use a bean pot as well, I have 2 sizes. I have tried other methods they just do not seem to taste the same. Now I need to make some after watching this

[@vonnieluxon2437]

Thanks.

[@magoolew5131]

I watched a KZbin video where it was said to use Barbados molasses because it made the beans sweeter. Black strap made them a bit more bitter. I've never tried either but have used maple syrup in mine, but I'm really not a fan of maple but didn't have any molasses at all. I didn't like the maple type either.

[@sic-n-tiredtired4273]

Looks amazing, one of my favorites can you show how to make them without the bean pot ? Thank you.

[@karengiebel2257]

Hello Sic-n-tired. You can use any deep dish casserole baking bowl. Better if it has a lid but covering with aluminum foil works too. Hope you become healthy -n-energised!

Hello Gernot, Thank you for your question. My bean pot holds 4 quarts.

[@chrisklina2597]

Looks delicious! Can’t wait to make some! Do you soak/rinse the salt pork before using?

[@normlor]

A WONDERFUL RECIPE, I FOLLOWED THIS GREAT RECIPE BUT BEING FROM MONTREAL I'LL ADD SOME KETCHUP (HOPE YOU DON'T MIND)

[@karengiebel2257]

A squirt or 2 of ketchup is fine if that is what you like. My husband says I can't ever leave a recipe alone! But then they are not the traditional Boston Baked Beans which is what I love.

[@AreYouKittenMeRtNow]

I just figured out that this cute brown pot my mother in law gave me is a bean pot and I can’t wait to give it a whirl! You deserve more subs this was a lovely video and I can’t wait to try this recipe! Do you know what size your bean pot is?

[@thejourneygirlcooks8170]

Hi there, I just saw this . Thanks for your comment. I looked at my bean pot but there is no volume listed on it. Without measuring, I would guess it holds about 3-4 quarts. :Hope you make and enjoy the beans!

[@tashacooper3502]

I made this recipe and my family lived them. How much longer cooking time do you think will be needed if I double the recipe?

[@karengiebel8246]

If you use a bigger pot, the cooking time should be about the same. Using the same size bean pot, I would add at least 30 minutes. So happy they turned out well for you!

[@kimberleyharrison5837]

My bean water got tossed!! Can I use regular water?

[@karengiebel2257]

Yes, you sure can! Not as favorful and maybe not as thick but you can cook a bit longer to thicken them up.

[@shellrox906]

Quart size of bean pot?

[@connieparker8896]

In the move I lost the lid to my bean pot, can I use foil or what do you?

[@karengiebel2257]

Foil should work well!

[@sooner61]

I have some old cookbooks and a couple with 18th century recipes. They call to not save the cooking liquid for some reason. One recipe even said to throw it away outside, not down the drain. Anybody know why they didn't save the cooking water back then?

Add the baking soda when you start to boil the beans. As for the amount of water, just drain the beans as the video shows and add it back in as the video shows. I'm certain they will turn out just fine!
