HOMEMADE BAKED BEANS WITH MOLASSES

Steps:

• Place the dried navy beans in a 4-quart (4 L) Dutch oven. Cover the beans with cold water and let them soak for eight hours or overnight.
• Drain and rinse the beans with cool water. Place the drained beans back in the pot and cover them with 6 cups (1 ½ L) of fresh cold water. Bring the beans to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling add the baking soda. Reduce the heat, place the lid on the pot, and simmer the beans for 30 minutes or until tender.
• Preheat the oven to 250ºF (120ºC).
• Drain the cooked beans into a colander fitted over a large bowl or other vessel to catch the liquid. Once drained you should have about 3 ½ cups (875 ml) of cooking liquid (if you don't have 3 ½ cups, top it up with water until you do). Rinse the cooked beans with cool water and drain. Set the cooking liquid and the drained beans aside.
• Give the Dutch oven a quick wash to remove any cooked bean scum. Add the ketchup, molasses, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground dry mustard, and pepper to the pot. Stir together until smooth.
• Add the chopped onion and bacon to the pot. Stir to mix. Add the 3 ½ cups of reserved bean liquid and the beans to the pot. Stir well to combine.
