Boston Baked Beans cooking guidances
| Step 1 | Pour the beans into a large bowl and cover with plenty of cold water. Cover and leave to soak overnight.. |
| Step 2 | Drain and rinse the beans, then put in a pan, with fresh water to cover by about 5cm/2in. Bring to the boil and boil hard for at least 10 minutes. Transfer the beans and water to a slow cooker.. |
| Step 3 | Cut the belly into large pieces and add to the beans, together with all the other ingredients, except the salt. It's important not to add salt until the beans are cooked, it makes the skin tough. Add plenty of black pepper though.. |
| Step 4 | Cook for 8 hours in the the slow cooker, or for four hours in the oven on 140C/Gas 1, until tender. Half way through cooking time, when the beans are tender but the liquid is still being absorbed, add plenty of salt, taste to check there's enough.. |
| Step 5 | The beans are cooked when they are completely soft and the liquid has turned into a lovely thick goo. Serve the beans hot, with sausages or baked potatoes or burgers, they would also go beautifully with baked . We had them on toast, topped with cheese. They freeze well, and there's lots, so divide into portions and freeze separately for quick and easy lunches.. |
