Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 hrs

Begin by generously soaking the dried beans in a large pot filled with water. Allow them to slumber overnight, then drain away the water. Refill the pot with fresh water, coaxing it to a boil. Let the beans simmer gently until they surrender and become tender, approximately 1 hour.

02

Step
15 mins

While the beans are undergoing their transformation, in a separate bowl, whisk together the luscious maple syrup, rich molasses, brown sugar, fiery ginger, mustard powder, salt, pepper, and water. Set this symphony of flavors aside, awaiting its moment to shine.

03

Step
10 mins

Create a foundation of flavor by placing onion wedges into the bottom of a 3-quart or larger slow cooker. Crown the onions with diced salt pork. Once the beans have reached their tender zenith, drain them and transfer them to the slow cooker. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the beans, ensuring every morsel is embraced by its sweet and savory goodness. If needed, add a touch more hot water to ensure the beans are fully submerged.

04

Step
12 hrs

Cover the slow cooker and embark on a culinary journey, cooking on the Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or on High for 5 to 6 hours. If choosing the High setting, keep a watchful eye, adding water as needed to maintain the beans' lusciousness. For a thicker consistency, remove the lid during the final 30 minutes, allowing excess liquid to evaporate, concentrating the flavors to their ultimate expression.

For the most exquisite flavor, seek out Yellow Eye beans if available; their creamy texture elevates the dish to new heights.
Grade A amber maple syrup lends a delicate sweetness and nuanced flavor profile that perfectly complements the other ingredients.
Feel free to experiment with smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of smoky depth or a subtle kick.
