1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet Browning and Seasoning Sauce, divided
16 ounces dried small white beans
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions: |
Directions:1. Dissolve 3 tablespoons of salt in 3 quarts of water in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of Kitchen Bouquet along with the
beans. Let the bowl sit for 12 to 14 hours, then drain and rinse the beans.
2. When you are ready to bake the beans, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
3. In a large saucepan, dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 6 cups of water. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet, plus the brown sugar, yellow mustard, onion powder, and garlic powder. Whisk well to break up
the mustard. Heat over medium until the mixture begins to boil, then add the beans and salt pork. Bring the beans back up to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.
4. Stir the vinegar and hickory smoke into the beans, then pour them into an oven-safe casserole dish, and cover with a lid or foil. Bake for 2½ hours, then remove the foil, or lid, stir, and bake uncovered , stirring occasionally, for another 1½ hours, or
until the beans are soft. Remove the dish from the oven and cover it again with the lid or foil. The beans will soften a bit more over the next 20 minutes or so as they sit. |
