How to Make Canadian Baked Beans With Maple Syrup No Molasses
- Soak 1 pound of dried navy beans overnight in cold water to reduce cooking time.
- Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Transfer them to a 4-quart bean pot or Dutch oven.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
- Add the maple syrup mixture to the beans in the pot. Pour in enough water to cover the beans by about 2 inches.
- Peel one medium onion, leaving it whole. Remove the root and blossom ends.
- Gently place the whole onion and 4 ounces of salt pork (or thick-cut bacon) into the pot among the beans.
- Cover the pot tightly and bake in a preheated 250°F (120°C) oven for approximately 8 hours.
- Check the beans every hour or so, adding more water if needed to prevent them from drying out.
- After 8 hours, remove the onion and salt pork. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in 2 tablespoons of refried bean flakes and let the beans simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Chop up and enjoy the onion separately.
- Serve hot with crusty bread and your favorite protein (pork chops recommended!).
