YUM! Does taste a lot like our local beans!!! I did make a few changes: used only 1 cup maple syrup (it's SO expensive nowadays) and 1 cup molasses (blackstrap). I used canola oil for the fat & vegetable broth instead of water (so I didn't need to add salt). Finally, I omitted the onion because I only had garlic tomato paste, which I doubled (I also didn't feel like taking out the knife and board, I just threw everything in the pot). Merci Boomette!!!

This turned out great, although I did make a few changes. I soaked the beans overnight, draining the next morning. I put the beans and the rest of the ingredients in a crockpot and cooked on high for about 12 hours. I took it to a church potluck and everyone enjoyed. Thanks France!
