Spicy Baked Beans
Source: Ruthanna GW
1 lb dried Great Northern or navy beans, soaked overnight in cold water
1 cup chopped onions
4 slices cooked bacon, diced
2 T white sugar
1 T dry mustard
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2/3 cup molasses
2 T cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups tomato juice
1 cup water
Salt to taste
Drain beans and add fresh water. Simmer until beans are almost tender, 60-90 minutes. Drain.
Combine remaining ingredients and add to beans.
Bake uncovered in bean pot or deep casserole at 250 degrees for 4 hours or until very tender. Check them every once in a while and add more water to keep them from drying out.
