Baking of the beans

I soak the Great Northern  and the Pinto beans in water overnight.  The next day I cook them up until they are a bit soft but not mushy.  They take an hour plus to cook. I rinse them and put them in my roasters. I add some fried bacon and a slurry of dark molasses, brown sugar, mustard, catsup, salt and pepper. I may have known what the measurements were a long time ago.  I used one bottle of molasses, maybe about 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup mustard and a cup of catsup....give or take.  Then I put them in the oven to bake awhile.  I let them cool before putting into ziplock quart bags to freeze. 

Easy Peasy...other than I boiled them over and had to clean the stove:) 


I use my roasting pans all the time.  I have had them for a really long time!


There you have it...those are the beans. 

We had a quiet day on Sunday aside from the clanging of pots and pans in the kitchen.  We went for a Ranger Blue ride to recycle.

This week we have a number of appointments.
