Steps

  1. Wash beans and place in a saucepan with the water. Cover and bring to a boil, checking regularly.
  2. When water has reached the boiling point, time for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Let sit for 1 hour, covered.
  3. After the hour, return beans and water to heat and bring to a simmer, still covered. Simmer for 45 minutes.
  4. Strain beans and water through a colander, collecting the liquids in a bowl for later use.
  5. Combine the onion, salt, mustard, and maple syrup. Add 2⅝ cups (2 ½ cups) of the aforementioned bean-water to the mix and blend well.
  6. Finely slice the bacon, place in roast pan/casserole dish, and cover with the beans, pouring the liquid mixture over top.
  7. Cover and bake for 3 hours at 165°C (325°F), adding ½ cup (½ cup) of bean-water at the 2 ½ hour mark.
  8. Melt butter and combine with brown sugar. Pour over the baked beans and bake, uncovered, until liquid is no longer visible.
