Baked Beans and Fruit

 

4 cups cooked red kidney or Dutch brown beans

1 large onion, chopped or sliced

2 apples, peeled seeded and chopped

2 navel oranges, peeled and sectioned

1/3 cup molasses

1 tbsp cider vinegar

1 tbsp minced fresh ginger root OR

1 tsp ground ginger powder

2 tsp Dijon mustard

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

4 drops hot pepper sauce (optional)

Hot water

 

In a 8 cup (2 Litre) casserole or large crockpot, layer the onions, then cooked

beans, then apples; top with orange slices.

 

In a 2 cup (500 ml) measure, combine molasses, cider vinegar, gingerroot,

mustard, salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce. Add enough hot water to make 2

cups liquid; mix well. Pour over bean mixture.

 

Cover and bake in 300 degree oven for about 1 hour or until beans and fruit are

tender. Uncover and stir; bake uncovered, for about 30 minutes longer or until

some of the liquid has evaporated. Or cook in the crockpot on low for 10-12

hours, then stir just before serving. You could also cook on high, for 5-6

hours (I haven't tried this). Or on high for the first hour or so, then on low

for 6-8 hours.

 

Makes 6 servings.
