How to cook deliciously - Boston Baked Beans

1. Stage

The night before you plan to bake your beans, place beans in a large bowl and cover with at least 2 inches of water. Stir in 2 tablespoons kosher salt and let soak overnight, around 12 hours.

2. Stage

Preheat oven to 300° and drain beans. In a large dutch oven over medium heat, add beans and cover with 4 cups of water or enough water to completely cover beans. Add salt pork, onion, garlic, molasses, brown sugar, mustard, pepper, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.

3. Stage

Cover dutch oven and place on middle rack of oven and cook until beans are very tender and approaching a caramel brown color, about 3 to 3 ½ hours. Check beans every hour and add water if beans are no longer submerged.

4. Stage

Remove any large pieces of garlic or onion from beans, if desired. Return beans, uncovered, to oven and bake until pork begins to caramelize and beans have a slight crust and a brick red tint, about 1 hour more.

5. Stage

Remove pot from the oven and allow beans to sit uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Sauce will thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper as necessary.
