  • An adventure in beans and tomato sauce brings me to this project. Attempting to make homemade Heinz style baked beans. UK style beans are different to others in some Countries, perhaps a little less sweet / smokey in some ways - stored in a tomato sauce with a mild sweet kick they are the ultimate comfort food! This was a recipe to make UK style ones from home and I picked up some cool tips along the way, i'm not sure if i'd do it again but it was really fun to make my own, they were fresher and tasted identical! Check out the recipe if you fancy giving it a try for yourself!

      Although I have never tried this , I was once told that any recipe for baked beans is improved by adding a bacon joint to the dish prior to cooking the beans, to add some salt and smokiness to the beans and the meat off the joint can be pulled and added to the beans or used to make sandwiches or rissoles.

    To be the same as canned beans you'd need to use Haricot Beans, also known as Navy Beans. I worked for 20+ years for a food canning company. Dried beans were always presoaked with calcium chloride IIRC as this would help keep the skins firm. The beans should increase in size around 15-20% due to an uptake OK the soaking solution. It's very much the sauce that adds the flavour though these days. The formula for it has changed a lot over the last 40 years. Up until the early 1990s lots of different spices would be used. Since then though these have been scaled back and replaced with sugar and salt. Any time on food you see wording like 'improved recipe' it is really code for cheapened recipe.

    Actually Barry, the sweet beans from the US you are referring to are Boston baked beans which is a regional version of the dish. There are many versions of baked beans here some sweet like you had, some savory (I know here in the southwest we put jalapenos and other things in them and in Texas there are BBQ baked beans). Believe it or not British baked beans are a thing here and used to be popular until I'd say the '80s when many Americans started to think that they were bland. Generally speaking though I'd say there are far more variations of baked beans here than there are in any part of the world.

    What you call “Baked Beans” is usually referred to as “pork and beans” here in the US. It’s the small Navy bean (Hericot beans), cooked in tomato sauce with a small cube of pork belly. The “baked beans” we have here usually include brown sugar or molasses and other seasonings and may include smoke flavoring.

You get some normal sounding Jello recipies, and then there are also parts of the book that have you putting tuna and olives in lime Jello and you wonder who was crazy enough to think of these. That's not a joke by the way, I believe the recipe is called "Ring around the tuna", and it's only the tip of the odd Jello iceberg in that cookbook.

I don't usually use Worcester sauce in anything because to me it tastes rank, but if the recipe calls for it, Fishy Southern sauce it will be (I literally chucked the best part of a full bottle down the sink a couple of weeks ago because I got it for a WW recipe once...). I dropped a note on your Twitter feed and I'll give trying them with Hendo's a go too. I'm really sorry about Amy, I didn't know she was ill. Take it steady Barry because losing a beloved fur-child is the same as losing a family member because that's what they are, aren't they? They're our family members too.

    I can definitely second the suggestions to use a pressure cooker. You can put the soaked beans right into the pressure pot and add the ingredients for the sauce, pressure cook for 12 minutes (not counting the time to come up to pressure), let it release the pressure for another 20 minutes, and voila. I make a variation of US style pork and beans pretty often this way, and it comes out great.

    Found this recipe about 8 months ago and wanted to try it before my trip to London. After my trip and having tried lots of different beans I was also able to find the Heinz beans here in the States. This Recipe is my favorite.

    Why not haricot beans? That's the type that Heinz use and they're available dried or in tins with water in Tesco and Sainsburys.

    Baked beans on toast is hands-down my favourite meal. I live in Canada, and while I can get Heinz Baked Beans, they are pricey. Making my own is a must, now I have a sauce recipe.
    Heinz also released a 'British-Style' can of baked beans for the North American market, but don't be fooled: they're nothing like proper British Baked Beans - which is really kind of odd (and disappointing).

    I think it was on Inside The Factory (or something similar) that they showed how they made the tins of baked beans, what surprised me most was that they were cooked in the cans with steam.
    On the subject of cook books, I have a GU one; it has handy info on how to properly temper chocolate, what mixes of dark and milk to use etc. for that gu taste. No absolutely crazy recipes though.

    • @superfluidity
      @superfluidity 2 года назад +2

      I think almost everything tinned is cooked in the same way. It's the inside-the-tin cooking that sterilizes it and gives it a long shelf life. Has to be done in a pressure cooker to stop the tins exploding in the process.

  • @cbronoord
    @cbronoord 2 года назад +2

    I do not understand the tradition of beans on toast. I do not understand a full English Breakfast. But maybe that's because I'm Dutch. I love the tinned beans in tomato sauce. But as veggies with dinner. Meat and patatoes. And even a little bit of jus. That's how we eat it.

    Haricot beans are the variety used in Hines baked beans. I soak the dried beans in water over night then drain and cook them in the sauce. Don’t need to add corn flower as in the cooking the beans absorb some of the liquid and some evaporates as steam.

    Being a Canadian, I can't help but think that beans should be flavoured with maple syrup in order to be proper, we have heinz beans and others in Canada - including "Maple Style: made with pure Quebec maple syrup" 🙂 Weirdly, my mum grew up with "pork and beans" - and any kind of baked beans - regardless of whether there was sausage or pork in them, she called pork and beans. My huge condolences to you and the family for your loss of Amy... it's a cruel joke of the universe that our best friends have such a lower allotment of years assigned to them 😢

  • @BCProgramming

    Heinz has "UK Style" cans here (Western Canada) that look similar to that one you show at the start of the video- except of course ours indicates it is "UK style". I have no idea what that means though, since they also have a standard 'Beans in Tomato Sauce' which as far as I can tell seems to be the same except the branding. There's also the brown sugar/molasses sauce kind like you show. Bunch of other kinds there too. I usually get a mix of all of them.
