MOM'S NEW ENGLAND BAKED BEANS
This recipe has become so famous at all of my family's gatherings that mom had to get more bean pots! She's made these beans for as long as I can remember. There are never any leftovers, no matter how many batches she makes. Note: Cooking time does not include time needed to soak beans.

Steps:
- Soak beans in a pan of water overnight then drain before cooking.
- Boil the soaked beans until the skins crack when you blow on them. (With a spoon, lift some out of the boiling water and blow on them. If the skins crackle, they are done.) This step is important because the beans don't soften up any more while baking, and you don't want them to be too hard.
- Drain the beans and place them in your bean pot (any ceramic piece will do as long as it has a lid).
- Add uncooked bacon and chopped onion.
- In a sauce pan, bring the rest of the ingredients to a boil.
- Once everything is melted and combined, pour the mixture over the beans in the pot.
- Make sure the liquid covers the beans. If not, then add more water.
- Bake in covered pot at 250 degrees for about 4 hours. Check periodically to make sure the liquid level does not get too low. They will thicken as they bake, but you should have a little juice so they are not too dry.
- The beans will be dark brown, and thick when they are done.

Steps:
- Place a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning, until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain, and chop.
- Place the beans in the slow cooker and add the bacon, water, cider, onion, molasses, maple syrup, ginger, mustard, and cloves. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the beans are tender. Season to taste with salt.
- Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. Add the apples and pears and cook for about 10 minutes, until they begin to brown. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon and sauté for about 5 minutes.
- When the liquid is almost evaporated from the slow cooker, place the fruit mixture on top of the beans and continue cooking for about 40 minutes, until the flavors are melded.
- Divide evenly among bowls and serve at once.
MY OWN CROCK POT NEW ENGLAND BAKED BEANS
It just isn't New England without these! For years I was up at 4.30am on a Saturday morning to make my beans. Traditionally served on a Saturday night, these were originally had with fish cakes and cabbage salad which is not quite cole slaw and served cold the next morning in sandwiches; great with raw sliced onion and a bit of mustard. Thanks nanny! I will post that cabbage salad recipe as well. Now, it is usually served with baked ham or hot dogs. Be sure to keep a check on your water covering the beans. These will not be overly sweet. The salt pork is extremely traditional and the meatier the better. This is eaten with the beans as well. It can be omitted for those who cannot have or find it and they are still scrummy. This recipe can be halved easily.

Steps:
- Soak beans over night or do a quick soak method. If soaking, drain soaking water, replace with new and boil the beans 30 minutes. I know what crock pots say about beans and sorry companies, this works!
- Place onions and salt pork in bottom of pot.
- Pour in beans drained of water.
- Mix the next 7 ingredients in a saucepan and bring just to the boil stirring occasionally. Pour over beans in pot.
- Add water to cover beans and cook on low 10-12 hours (or more) topping with water if necessary.
- Stir every 2 hours and cook with lid off for final 2 hours to thicken. I usually find that I need to stop adding water at this point and stir occasionally as beans will "appear" dried out on top; this is how they should look. Just stir.
- These should be saucy rather than liquidy or dry. a thick sauce. Unfortunately this is not a crock pot recipe which can be left unattended for more than 2-3 hours.
- Eating the onions is one of the best parts! I used to only use 1 until my mother began screaming give me an onion!
- These freeze very well. Freeze in plastic containers or bags and thaw at room temperature. Re-heat adding a bit of water if necessary as they *can* thicken upon freezing.

Steps:
- Check the beans for any stones or dirt and discard. Put the beans in a large bowl; cover with cold water by about 3 inches. Cover, and set aside in a cool spot or the refrigerator to soak for 6 hours or overnight.
- Drain the beans. Put the beans in a large saucepan with 5 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat so the beans simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Drain, but reserve the cooking water.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Put the beans in a 2 to 2 1/2-quart ceramic bean pot or covered casserole with the salt pork and the onion. In a medium bowl combine the molasses, mustard, and salt with 2 cups of the cooking liquid and pour over the beans. (If the beans are not covered by the liquid add more.) Cover the pot, and bake for 3 hours. Check the beans periodically to make sure they are covered with liquid and if needed add more of the reserved cooking liquid. Gently stir in the tomatoes and vinegar, taking care not to break up the beans, continue to bake for 3 more hours. Remove from the oven and stir in the rum, if desired. Serve.
