MAPLE BAKED BEANS

Maple Baked Beans image

Taken ages ago from the website ' About ' when looking for recipes using maple syrup - I have not made these but certainly intend to have a go .Preparation time does not include soaking the beans. UPDATE - I have since made this recipe and the flavours are very mild - too mild for me so you might want to be a bit heavy handed - I also added a can of diced tomatoes and cooked them for an extra hour.
