Preparation:

Curly Hotdog Snakes

Rinse and soak dried beans overnight in three times their volume of water. (Or for quick-soak method, bring to boil; boil gently for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 1 hour.) Drain.

In saucepan, cover beans again with three times their volume of water and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid.

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, apple, garlic, mustard, chili powder, salt and cayenne pepper until softened, about 8 minutes.

Stir in tomato puree maple syrup, vinegar and molasses; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Scrape into food processor; pour in bean cooking liquid and puree until smooth.

In bean pot or 16-cup (4 L) casserole, combine beans and sauce. Cover and bake in 300°F (150°C) oven for 2 hours. Uncover and bake until thickened and beans are coated, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate in airtight container for up to 24 hours. Reheat to serve.)

Additional Information

  • Tips:
    Cooking times vary among dried beans. The soaking method also changes cooking time: count on 5 to 10 minutes less simmering time if using the quick-soak method.

    Start checking beans, regardless of soaking method, by tasting them about 10 minutes before suggested cooking time and then every 5 minutes thereafter. A well-cooked bean is tender and easy to squash in your mouth.
