OLD FASHIONED FRENCH CANADIAN BAKED BEANS



Old Fashioned French Canadian Baked Beans image

This was a staple for me growing up in Quebec and brings back many happy memories. A perfect winter comfort food!!! I have tweaked an original recipe and wanted to share it with you. Great at breakfast with fried egg and sausage. A hearty meal with crusty bread and salad. It takes some time but well worth the wait -- I hope you enjoy them. Special note: some people prefer using salt pork when preparing baked beans - I use sliced bacon instead.

MARITIME BAKED BEANS

This is a combination of a couple of baked bean recipes including touches from my mother and grandmother. We live in New Brunswick, Canada, and beans are always a favourite for Saturday supper along with Brown Bread. In this recipe you can use salt pork, bacon, or if I don't have either, I use a tablespoon of shortening.
