The Boston Baked Beans recipe (page 195) uses good ol' navy beans and cooks them for about 7 hours in molasses and brown sugar. When John tasted them, he commented that they tasted like barbecue. So two thumbs up from him. I was a little disappointed because although I cooked them for over 7 hours the beans never got very tender. The section called "The Ten Commandments of Bean Cookery" says," Thou shalt not add salt to simmering beans... and Thou shalt not add acid ingredients while thy beans are cooking..." Alas, next time I'll boil the beans until tender and then "stir in the remaining ingredients."
