How to make Vermont Baked Beans:
The first step is preparing the beans. They’re rinsed and soaked overnight. The next day, onion is cooked with the bacon in a Dutch oven. Then the beans are added in with water, some of the maple syrup and the rest of the ingredients. The mixture is brought to a boil, and then the pot is placed into the oven for slow baking. When it’s time to serve, the beans will be tender and the sauce will have thickened. The last of the maple syrup is stirred in. The rich sauce has wonderful smokiness from chopped bacon and a subtle sweetness from maple syrup. Enjoy! These baked beans are gluten-free adaptable- please see the tips included in the recipe card at the end of this post.
