Stove-Top Baked Beans with Apple and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

These are not your average baked beans. In fact, I suppose that these are technically not "baked beans" at all as they are made entirely on the stove-top — with the nice effect of taking less time — but they have the same rich and comforting flavor as those more traditionally simmered in the oven. In fact, they have an even richer flavor with the addition of sun-dried tomatoes, apple and dried cranberries. For a special twist, I used pinto beans and included herbs and a dash of liquid smoke too. Deep flavored with hints of sweetness and smokiness, this modern take on an old classic pairs really well with a side of rice and a lightly dressed leafy geen salad. function printDiv(e) Stove-Top Baked Beans with Apple and Sun-Dried...
