photo by Probably This
- Ready In:
- 12hrs
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 2 lbs kidney beans, cleaned
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 2⁄3 cup molasses
- 6 teaspoons dry mustard
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 large onions, cut in 1/2 or 1 large onion, diced small
- 1⁄4 lb salt pork, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 4 1⁄2 cups water, boiling
directions
- Rinse dry beans in cold water. Place in a lg. bowl, and cover with 2" of cold water. Let soak overnight in refrigerator. Drain, and rinse beans.
- Put beans in a lg. crock pot with the rest of the ingredients. Cook on high 12-14 hours or on low for 24 hrs., or until beans are soft, and juice is thick. Stir occasionally.
- Check water occasionally to make sure there is enough water in the beans, so they don't boil dry.
-
Note:
- If you use a smaller size crock pot cut the recipe in 1/2, and cook until beans are done. I always use my large crock pot, so I'm not sure how long it takes.

I hav made baked beans for years without a problem, however, yesterday I decided to make them again, but I had no kidney beans so used navy beans instead. They have been cooking for 2 days now and the beans are still not soft. They are crunchy. I have added more of the bean broth that they were first cooked in, but despite adding a quart of it, they are still crunchy. What is wrong. It's almost time for dinner and there's nothing else to eat. Please help. Renie

I decided to add Kidney Beans to my menu when catering and these have a nice balance of flavors that we love. My DH couldn't eat enough of these when I made them the first time. He was the one to suggest us using them when we do catering jobs. It has been a nice addition and one we will continue to use. Customers love them and so do we!

YUM! I had to make a few substitutions, including exchanging Chorizo for the salt pork. And, on advice from a professional chef friend I exchanged a small (pony) Corona for some of the water. The wonderful aroma has been killing me all day, just tasted them (twice, but strictly for quality assurance purposes) and they are the best ever!!!!! I made a half batch, which may account for them being done only 8 1/2 hours into the process. Definitely on the repeat list.

I love beans any which way but loose. I have been craving some and saw this recipe posted awhile back and saved it. I am glad I did, because they were really delicious! These were really easy to make, even for a dummie like me that can't cook for beans :) Had along with some weiners and corn bread. Milt

<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>I just don't have the time these days to send out individual thank yous for those that make and review my recipes, but I just want you to know that you are truly appreciated and it tickles me every time I get a review, knowing you tried my recipes and enjoyed them the way I do.</p>
<p>I even appreciate the ones that tried them and for some reason they didn't work out for you. Everyone has different tastes, and you can't please everyone all the time. </p>
<p>Lots of times people change the recipes, adding things, leaving things out, and not seasoning them to their own taste, and give a bad review... Recipes are only guidelines, and if you follow mine and don't like it, then it's a personal preference as to why you don't like it, and I appreciate that. However, if you don't follow my recipe then it is YOUR recipe that you don't like, and my recipe shouldn't be rated. IMHO Thanks for trying them anyway :)</p>
<p>Hugs,</p>
<p>Linda</p>

<p>My name is Linda. I am happily single, and I live in Rochester NH. I just moved back to the town where most of my family lived years ago, and where I lived as a child, after living in NC for 5 years. I have 2 grown sons, a dil, and 2 beautiful grandsons. <br /> <br />I really enjoy my time here on Zaar posting recipes, trying new recipes, taking pictures, and reviewing lots of yummy recipes! <br /> <br />I love to cook, and share recipes. The recipes that I share are mainly my own creations, or family recipes passed down to me from my mom and grandmother, and other family members or friends. If I post something from somewhere else, it has to sound REALLY good to me for me to post it! <br /> <br />Many of the dishes that I prepare are simple, good, down home cooking. Many of them originate from New England, as my grandmother is from Maine, and my mother from New Hampshire. I do also like to try making some gourmet recipes as well, using my creativity along the way. <br /> <br />I started cooking at a the age of 8, helping my mother and grandmother in the kitchen. My curiosity for cooking has led me to create many of my own recipes through trial and error. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I do :) <br /> <br />In my spare time I play on my computer collecting recipes, and have been working on creating a cookbook to publish for some time, but have put it aside for now. <br /> <br />I also love to travel and shop. I love to go to the beach and mountains, and as food is a passion of mine, I love to dine out and try many different cuisines in the area, and with friends when I am traveling :) <br /> <br />I made my first herb garden in 2008, but have had vegetable gardens for many years in the past. I have done my share of canning and I love those fresh herbs and veggies all summer long! <br /> <br /> <br />My Rating System: <br /> <br />5 Stars ***** Outstanding recipe that I absolutely loved. It can be down home or restaurant quality, as long as it tastes great and I didn't have to make any changes along the way! Also recipe has to have clear directions. One I would definately make again and again. <br /> <br />4 Stars **** Great recipe that I loved, but one that I may have had to tweak just a bit. Directions may have not been crystal clear. One I would make again and again with my changes. <br /> <br />3 Stars *** I liked the recipe, but had to add ingredients, or add more of a called for ingredient to have the recipe come out the way I like it. I would probably make again sometime. <br /> <br />2 Stars ** This recipe was ok, but I probably wouldn't make it again due to lack of taste, undesireable texture, or unclear directions etc. <br /> <br />1 Star * This recipe was one I didn't like at all. Either the amounts of ingredients were wrong (too little flavor or too much of one/some of the ingredients in the recipe), or the recipe didn't come out right following the directions given. Lack of directions. <br /> <br />No Stars - I have tried the recipe in the past and want to make a comment, or I am adding a comment about the recipe posted, possibly a tip or what I feel to be important information about the recipe. <br /> <br /><a href=http://www.sparklee.com><img style=border: 0px initial initial; src=http://img109.mytextgraphics.com/sparklee/2008/06/25/8219d39724611006c824863f62e57014.gif border=0 alt=Glitter Graphics - /></a></p>
