How to Make Old Fashioned French Canadian Baked Beans
- Cover 1 pound of dried beans with cold water and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
- Rinse beans thoroughly. In a large pot, combine rinsed beans with 1 quart of water, 1 bay leaf, and 2 cloves of garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let beans stand for 1 1/2 hours, or until softened.
- Drain beans, reserving the cooking liquid. Discard bay leaf and garlic.
- In a large bowl, whisk together: 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add the drained beans to a large, oven-safe bean pot or Dutch oven.
- Pour the molasses mixture over the beans and stir to coat evenly.
- Pour enough of the reserved bean liquid into the pot to almost cover the beans.
- Arrange 6 slices of bacon on top of the beans.
- Cover the bean pot and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 7 hours.
- During the last hour of baking, remove the lid to allow the beans to brown slightly.
