Recipe Introduction


The Swedes use a local type of bean known as bruna bonor, or brown beans in English, to make this dish. They might be available in your area, especially if there is a large Scandinavian community where you live, but most of us will get great results using pinto or cranberry beans.
(See http://www.foodsubs.com/Beans.html for more info on Swedish brown beans.)


List of Ingredients




2 cups (500 ml) dried Swedish brown beans (pinto or cranberry beans)
picked over & rinsed
5 cups (1.25 L)
1 Tbs (15 ml) chopped crystallized ginger
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
1/4 cup (60 ml) cider vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) dark corn syrup or molasses
1/4 cup (60 ml) packed brown sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) ground ginger


Recipe



Combine the beans, water, crystallized ginger, and salt in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer covered until the beans are tender, 2 to 3 hours. Use a potato masher to mash some of the beans and stir in the remaining ingredients. Simmer for 30 minutes and adjust the seasoning with salt, vinegar, and brown sugar as desired. Serves 6 to 8.
