We paired the beans with some grilled brats and it was glorious.
1 lb dried navy beans
1 medium yellow onion, ends trimmed, left whole
4 whole cloves
8 oz bacon, cut into 1/4" slices
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup molasses
2 tsp dry mustard powder
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp dark rum, if you have it
salt and pepper to taste
1. Bring the beans and 10 cups of water to a boil in a large dutch oven over high heat and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover with a lid and let sit for 1 1/2 hrs. Drain the beans.
2. Heat oven to 250.
3. Place the beans back in the dutch oven.
4. Stud the onion with the cloves and place in with the beans along with the bacon, syrup, molasses, dry mustard, and 3 cups of boiling water. Stir to combine.
5. Cover pot and place in the oven. Cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
6. Stir in ketchup and vinegar. Cover again and return to oven for another 3 hours.
7. Stir in rum, season with salt and pepper.
