Recipe

Boston baked beans:
450g or 1lb dried haricot beans, soaked in water overnight
2 onions

3 tablespoons molasses
2 tsp raw brown sugar
1-2 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp chopped fresh mixed herbs or ½ tsp dried herbs
2 tablespoons tomato puree
Salt and pepper

Drain the beans, put them into a pan with plenty of fresh water and bring to the boil. Cover the pan and simmer the beans for 35-40 minutes, until almost cooked, then drain again, this time reserving the water.

Set the oven at moderate (165C, 325F, gas 3). Chop the onions and tomatoes. Tip the beans into a casserole and mix in the onion, tomato, molasses, sugar, mustard, herbs, tomato puree and salt and pepper to taste. Pour 200ml/ 7fl oz of the water in which the beans have been cooked into the casserole and stir well. Cover and bake the beans for 3 hours or until the beans are soft and have absorbed all the flavours. Stir them every now and again, adding a drop more of the cooking water if necessary. Adjust the seasoning and serve. Serves 8.
