Dutch Baked Beans

Submitted by Chef #314984

"This was my grandmothers recipe that she only shared with her granddaughters. We had to literally stand by her and measure all the ingredients as she just went by her eye for ingredients. Its more of a sweet and sour baked bean, not as heavy as some baked bean recipes. I hope you enjoy it. Goes great with baked ham."
