| Since moving away from home I am discovering more beans. Mom always made baked beans, I remember sorting the dry beans as a kid to get out any stones or bad looking beans, she would soak them over night and bake them all day the next day with molasses, mustard, salt pork etc... Great memories of those cooking, it was a sunday tradition for many families in my area of Maine. We would have a Christmas craft fair every year at the Grange Hall across the street from our house my mom would be up all night baking beans and homemade rolls to sell the next day, she would usually sell out in around 20 minutes, she would even get calls from certain people asking her to save them some!
My niece made me one of those soup in a jar kits one christmas, it was full of different kinds of beans and it was soooooo good.
