Cowboy Maple Surple Smoked Beans

    Part 1) Soak Beans at least 12hrs
  • Drain and paper towel dry the beans
  • Add mustard (all beans should be lightly covered. 3-4 teaspoon)
    I drag the bottle left to right at 1 inch intervals, then up down two inch intervals
  • I put 1 cup of coffee, then I use the same keurig pod and keep making coffee until the water level is just bellow the beans
  • 1 can Tomato paste
  • 750ml crushed tomators
  • 1 cup Chopped Smoked pork
  • Mix it up good
    Part 2) Bring to a slow boil in the Slow cooker
  • Stir once in a while for about an hour
  • 1/2 cup Maple Surple
  • Add water if needed just to cover the beans
    Part 3) Cook time
  • Once the reach a boiling point again
  • put it on low or medium setting, where it still boils but slow
  • After a total of 8-9hrs they should be ready
    Tips and timeline
  • 0:00 Beans should have soaked 12 ish hours
  • Part 1 follow steps
  • Part 2 about 1.5 - 2hrs will have gone by; then add your sugars
  • Part 3 About two hrs before their ready, if I notice the sauce is too liquid, I thicken it up with flour
    • The flower trick with only thicken after a while
    • add 1/2 cup flower to a bowl
    • Add water so that you can turn the flower into milk,cream like consistency
    • slowly put the wet flower in the beans while whisking at the same time
    • wisk hard or you'll have lumps
    • Stir bean every 15-30 minutes until ready
  • If your ready to serve but notice their too watery you can thicken with corn starch like a gravy
    Don't use flour at this point
