Any recipes for home made baked beans please?

Apparently the tinned baked beans aren't good for you.





So - can I make my own?





I've bought a pack of dried haricot beans today and put some in to soak.





But what next - any recipes for making them in a tomato sauce.





If no replies I will improvise - and let you know the outcome.Any recipes for home made baked beans please?
ALL DAY BAKED BEANS








1 lb. dry white Navy beans


1 1/2 tsp. salt


1 tsp. dry mustard


1/2 tsp. pepper


Dash of cayenne


1/2 c. chopped onion


1/2 c. molasses


1/4 c. brown sugar


3 tbsp. cider vinegar


1/4 lb. salt pork, cubed (optional)


Add beans to 1-quart boiling water; boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let


soak 1 hour. Return to heat and cook until beans are tender, about 1 hour.


Turn into 2-quart casserole with tight-fitting lid. Add remaining


ingredients and enough water to cover beans. Bake, covered, at 300 degrees


for 6 hours, stirring occasionally. Add boiling water as needed during


baking, 1 1/2 to 2 cups.

















WONDERFUL BAKED BEANS FROM SCRATCH





1 lb. of pea or Navy beans


Pinch of salt


Pinch of baking powder


1/4 lb. of salt pork, cut in 2 pieces


1 onion, chopped


2 tbsp. brown sugar


1/2 tsp. powdered mustard


1/4 tsp. black pepper


1/2 c. dark molasses





In a deep kettle, soak the beans overnight in water to cover. Do not drain. The next day, bring the water to a boil and add the baking soda. Lower the heat, skim the foam, and simmer partially covered for about 20 minutes or until the skins peel off when blown on. Drain, reserving cooking liquid in a separate container. Preheat oven at 300 degrees. Place one piece of salt pork on the bottom of a kettle or deep 2-quart ceramic casserole. To the drained quart of beans add the onion, salt, pepper and the molasses. Mix well. Pour the beans over the salt pork and add enough of the cooking water to cover. Place the remaining piece of salt pork on top. Bake covered for 8 hours. Keep checking the pot to make sure the liquid is not boiling away. Add reserve bean cooking water when necessary so liquid remains on top at all times. Do not stir. Beans will get broken up and mushy.Any recipes for home made baked beans please?
