How to Make Baked Brown Sweden Beans Bruna Bonor

  1. Pick over 1 pound of dried brown beans and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the rinsed beans with 8 cups of water. Soak for at least 12 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  3. Drain the soaking water. Add the beans back to the pot and add 6 cups of fresh water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 1 ½ hours.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of molasses or dark corn syrup, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1 cinnamon stick.
  6. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Remove the lid and continue to simmer for 1 hour, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened to the consistency of a gravy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. If the sauce is not thick enough after 1 hour, increase the heat slightly and simmer uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until desired thickness is reached.
  9. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving.
  10. Serve hot as a side dish or a main course. Enjoy!
