Kids, The apartment smells like the batch of baked beans that I started more than six hours ago. I thought I'd offer the recipe to the group. It has no hot pepper content, but of course it is a ready vehicle for any hot additions you may favor. As posted here, the recipe is similar to a Boston baked-bean presentation, though less sweet and more tangy. Here we go: Tangy Baked Beans 2 cups dry white beans 1 red bell pepper 1 medium onion 2 cups hot water 2 tbsp (heaping) beef bullion granules 1/2 cup catsup 1/4 cup dark molasses 1 tbsp (heaping) "spicy brown" style prepared mustard 1 tbsp Worcester sauce 1 tsp (heaping) sweet paprika Heat oven to 300F. Lightly oil the inside of a 2-qt. pot. Sort and wash beans, drain. Shred pepper and onion in food processor, or mince fine. In a medium mixing bowl, pour hot water and dissolve beef bullion granules, then whisk in molasses. Whisk in catsup, mustard, salt, paprika, and Worcester sauce. Stir in pepper and onion, then beans. Pour into pot and bake covered for approximately 6 hours. Check once each hour, and stir. If needed, add more liquid such as a 6-oz. can of V-8 type tomato-based juice. Add hot pepper elements to this recipe, as desired. Alex Silbajoris 72163.1353@compuserve.com Trying to figure out how to use up leftover boiled yucca
