(or thereabouts)- 12 million gallons of molasses (a lot of it anyway, maybe 2 million) escaped from a burst storage tank and oozed down a city street- killed a few people, and the leftover aroma lasted decades recipe to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortez The Killie Killer Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I used the following recipe (with modifications, I added a healthy amount of ketchup) for pork ribs that I cooked in the oven. I basted with the marinade while cooking. Then I used all of the drippings and added them to canned baked beans = The Best That I Have Ever Had! CAROLINA STYLE BBQ PORK IN THE CROCK POT TLDig 2 Onions, quartered 2 Tablespoons brown sugar 1 Tablespoon paprika 2 Teaspoons salt 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper 4 - 6 Pounds boneless pork butt or shoulder (I used a boneless half loin) 3/4 Cup cider vinegar 4 Teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 Teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 1/2 Teaspoon sugar 1/2 Teaspoon dry mustard 1/4 Teaspoon garlic salt (I used a bunch of garlic powder) 1/4 Teaspoon cayenne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Hog BBQ Sauce (or other sweet-spicy favorite) 1 lb. smoked leftover smoked pork or beef, more or less, or 1 lb crumbled cooked pork sausage (a maple fattie is good) 1 can apple pie filling, pieces somewhat chopped up 1 medium onion, chopped 1/2 green pepper, chopped 1/2 c. brown sugar 2 Tbsp.

dogboy Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 not many ingredients compared to the BBQ recipes already posted this is what boston baked beans are supposed to taste like: small white beans are best IMO- you can use navy beans or pea beans 2 cups- 1#- pick through for stones and dirt clods- rinse put in stainless steel saucepan and cover with water-+ 2 inches soak overnight change water, add 1/2 tsp baking soda and bring to boil- simmer ten minutes or so pick a few of them up with a spoon- they are ready if the skins split when you blow on them drain- save the water have ready: 1/2 pound salt pork, or better yet double smoked slab bacon- 1/4" dice one medium onion- chopped to one cup of the bean water add: 3 tablespoons molasses 1/4 cup brown sugar sub in some maple syrup if you want-reduce other sugars accordingly at least 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 tsp salt at least one teaspoon black pepper if you don't have a beanpot, use a tall ovenproof vessel with a cover start with the beans-put one third in the bottom, followed by 1/3 of the onion, then 1/3 of the salt pork/bacon end with bacon on top pour bean water/ingredients on top- add bean water if needed to cover cook covered in 300 degree oven for 4 hours don't stir more than once of twice add bean water as needed so they don't dry out, but don't drown them after 4 hours, turn the oven off and leave them alone until oven cools serve for dinner on saturday with hot dogs on sunday morning, serve them fried with fried apples and ham and eggs eat them cold in a sandwich during the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_M Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 My families recipe differs from the above somewhat. Yellow eye beans are preferred, but hard to find. The onion and salt pork are left whole and there is less brown sugar. See you on the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm making the beans for BBQ it's canned beans, sauce, hunk of BBQ pork and on the smoker for a couple hours in an uncovered dutch oven.

hotfishgirl Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I agree they will never be right unless cooked in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed422 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Are they really that much better then doctored up canned beans? I usually just use a can of beans, sauted onion, sauted garlic, bacon, basa and bbq sauce. Bake that until the sauce reduces a bit and it's great.
