New England Baked Beans

Report

New England Baked Beans are simple and complex at the same time, slow baked with molasses, maple syrup, and spices for one of the richest, most versatile bean dishes I've ever made.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F
Put the beans and the kombu in a large heavy pot. Add enough cold water to cover the beans by at least a couple of inches. Bring up to a boil, then cover, turn off the heat, and put the pot in the oven. Cook the beans for 60-90 minutes, or until they're tender. Test them at the 60 minute mark. I like mine to be tender but not at all soft and mushy.
Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 200F. Fish out the kombu and discard. Add the all the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT the vinegar and stir well. Cover and return to the oven for another 6-8 hours. Add the vinegar and taste to adjust any seasonings.
The sauce will become thicker if you refrigerate the beans overnight, and they'll keep well for up to a week (probably longer) in the fridge.
