      I think I may have added too much salt pork (despite soaking it in water for hours and rotating the water a couple times)... I think I used too much mustard powder too, LOL. I also used Pinto beans, but next time I'll use Navy beans, I think Navy is what he used here. He gave measurements to use for the seasoning and sweetener, but I don't know how much dried beans, onions or salt pork should have been used. I went with 1 pound of dried beans and 3/4 of an onion, but now I'm thinking I should have gone a lot more easy on the salt pork, used a tbsp of mustard powder instead of the massive spoonful I used,... hmmmm and maybe just half an onion next time (my onion was a huge one though, if I used a medium onion I'd dice up the whole thing). It doesn't feel like I used enough beans, but that's probably because I went too heavy on the pork and onion.
      I did find an interesting reference, in the early 1900's the "Farm Women’s Union of Alberta" published some cook books, and one recipe in the second edition was titled “Boston Baked Beans” and very well may be based on a much older cooking recipe from the 1800's, I think I'll use that recipe as a reference for portions, but will stay with the ingredients list noted in this video.

    My grandmother was French Canadian, and your baked bean recipe was almost identical to hers...she would use bacon rather than salt pork, and put whole onions on the top of the beans, rather than chopped.
    Also, she would add baking soda to the water when boiling the beans. I always thought that was to help clean them, but after hearing your video I wonder if it helped remove that toxin as well.

    I gotta tell ya man, you need to be on the food network. By far the one of the best channels on youtube. A while back I got very curious on how they used to eat back then, especially when writing one of my novels (I needed information on this subject) but I couldn't find anything to help me out. I'd look for recipes but every one I found was "modernized." Thank you for this channel!

It was part of an area of family run small businesses that sadly became defunct when the big grocery store and mall came to the area.

    I've been making a few of this channel's recipes, and I made the molasses beans in my Dutch oven and cooked them with coals from my fire pit. I let them go for five hours, refreshing the coals as needed. They were easily the best baked beans I've had, and my brother agreed. We used homemade salt pork and ate the beans with some marinated hunks of beef that we cooked on skewers over the fire.

    The one recipe was very reminiscent of a recipe handed down to me from my Mom - and her Mom, etc.
    3 cans baked beans
    1/2 tblsp onion powder
    1/2 tblsp garlic powder
    2 oz Dijon mustard
    1 oz Worcestershire sauce
    2 oz maple syrup (They used Aunt Jemima type stuff)
    1 oz Ketchup
    My addition: 1 oz of Sriracha
    4 bone-in pork chops (as fatty as you can get 'em).
    Black pepper for top of pork
    Preheat oven to 350
    Mix all ingredients (minus pork) in large baking dish
    Nestle pork chops into beans but leave tops dry
    Sprinkle pork chop tops liberally with cracked pepper
    Bake for 1 1/2 hours or so
    Serve with cole slaw

    • @brocklanders6172
      @brocklanders6172 8 лет назад +2

      One important point: if you can't get anything but lean pork chops, lay a few strips of bacon over everything. It's important that fat drips slowly into the beans while baking.
      You will not believe how good this is. Especially on a cold night. This, and Shepard's Pie, were what my mom made for dinner when I was home from school on a snow day after sledding all day.

    A good tip when boiling beans. Boil them until, when you blow on them, the skin cracks, that should indicate the beans have been cooked enough to use.
