For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using smoked salt pork. If you don't have stout beer on hand, a dark porter can be a good substitute. Adjust the amount of maple syrup and brown sugar to your preferred level of sweetness. For a vegetarian option, omit the salt pork and use vegetable broth instead of water.
