Great recipe! I used canned pink beans instead of the dried (was in a rush). I'm just glad to find a recipe that *doesn't* use prepared baked beans. This had a good balance of sweet and savory. Other recipes I've tried had WAY too much molasses, and turned out looking black in color instead of brown, the way these did.

This is a wonderful recipe!!! thank you! I was concerned about the amount of liquid, but it did cook down. My beans must have been old because it's on it's 2nd day of cooking and they're just now getting soft. I used molasses and the smell is wonderful (even the cats were sniffing the air!). I did not use the soy sauce though....just doesn't sound right! thanks again!
