The Great Baked-Bean experiment

This is as much for my own notes as anything, so that if the experiment turns out better than edible (and early taste/smell tests indicate it will) I can recreate it.


However many pinto beans survived the multi-day soaking (it looks like about 2/3 of the bag)
1 small can of tomato sauce (which I don't think added anything of value)
about half the jar of molasses
about 1/3 of a jar of honey
"about that much" brown sugar (uhh... a cup?)
1 pound of bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces and fried briefly to prevent the pieces from clumping together
1 ziploc baggie of chopped onion (erm... a quarter of a small onion?), fried in a tablespoon-ish of butter
Minced garlic
onion powder to make up for only having one ziploc baggie left.
oregano
sage
cumin
splash of balsamic vinegar to give it a tang


Next time, more real onion instead of the onion powder. And maybe some thyme. And probably not the tomato sauce.
