Don't know if Im too late with this but I have found a recipe for homemade baked beans by Carol Hunter:

250g haricot beans, soaked overnight
1 large onion, sliced
1 tbs oil
1 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp molasses
2 tbs tomato puree
2 tsp muscovado sugar
375ml stock
2 tbs cider vinegar

Drain the haricot beans and cook in boiling water for an hour until they are nearly tender. Fry the onion in the oil for 5 mins, add all the ingredients including the drained beans. Bring this to the boil.

Cover and cook at 275/140/Gas 1 for 4 hours stirring every now and then. This can also be frozen.

I have just put on a pot of beans for tomorrow from memory, I looked for this thread earlier and I didn't find it LOL.

I had some fab beans at a party and the cook gave me the the recipe whilst I was a little tipsy, I am hoping they turn out OK.

I put some pork fillet in to make it more of a main meal, that's tomorrow's tea done lol.

I dont think you can beat a tin of Heinz baked beans! 4 for £1 Wilkinson ATM.

Im all for OS and making stuff from scratch, but personally I think life it too short to make Baked Beans...LOL.

Heinz baked beans were first made in 1869...thats OS enough for me:D

I too love heinz but then again a change is always good. One of my food heroes is Heston Blumenthal. He has a baked bean recipe here :- http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/bakedbeans_80441.shtml. I confess I've not tried them but they look interesting.

Also, I used to have a Gary Rhodes book with a baked bean recipe in it, I actually ate them in his restaurant but never cooked them, they were fab. Perhaps someone else has a better memory of which book they were in.

When I do a beef casserole I cook haricot beans in it. Then I take them out and add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a spoon of treacle, english mustard, worcestershire sauce, chopped onion. I cook them for about half an hour on the hob. They freeze really well and the kids love them.

I'm on a low salt diet, so I have to make my own, even low salt ones can have too much salt!

I just stick a couple of tins of tomatoes, an onion and a clove of garlic into a saucepan and cook till the onion is soft, then blitz it all with a stick blender and pour into a (warmed so it won't crack) slow cooker. Then add loads of haricot beans that have been soaked overnight and then boiled for 10 mins. Leave it in the SC all day untill beans are soft. Then add a little treacle (or brown sugar), some paprika and (low) salt to taste.

These freeze very well and, as with tinned baked beans, can be used as a base for pasta sauce, soups etc.

Sometimes I use mixed beans - kidney, haricot and chick peas....these make a really nice change.

My Mom used to make the best baked beans...*Ahh the memories*

Preheat oven to 175

Get 4-5 cans of ANY canned tomato beans (yes, even the cheapy store brand)
1 onion (chop into small chunks)
5 big tablespoons of brown sugar
1 tablespoon mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon soysauce
(Mix everything together in your baking dish)

This was a dinner for us so my Mom would put hotdogs in this (push them down so they are sitting almost all the way in the beans) then top with streaky bacon and bake in the oven for about 40 mins. or until bacon is nicely done (to your taste) and serve with mash ! Mmmmmmmmmmm :T

Hi, As everyone knows the price of baked beans are horrendous, so i bought some dried haricot beans and decided that i would attempt to make my own baked beans in tomato sauce. Well now i can't find the recipe to make it. Has anyone made their own baked beans in tomato sauce? I have got the beans, garlic, some tomato juice, dark brown sugar, a few rashers of bacon, ( i don't have any other sort of bacon ) Now i dont know what to do. Sorry for the rambling, OH is rabbit on to me about how i should mix the petrol with the oil for the garden strimmer, for when
I Will be using it. Anyway if some one has any idea's on how i should make it or any other ingredients i could add, that would be great. Thanks
