Brown Beans, Swedish Style

Another recipe for Bruna Bönor that I have. Preparation time does not include time to soak beans overnight. Makes 4 servings.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 40 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 3⁄4 cups  brown  dried beans
• 5  cups water
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄3 cup white vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup dark corn syrup
• 2  tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

1. Wash beans. Put into a saucepan and add 5 cups water. Soak overnight.
2. Set saucepan over high heat and bring water to the boiling point quickly. Reduce heat and cook over low heat about 1 hour.
3. Add seasonings and continue to cook over very low heat for another hour, or until mixture thickens and beans are tender.
4. If it doesn't thicken enough, remove the cover, turn heat on high and stir and cook for about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water if the beans are too thick.
