"Most of us are very familiar with baked beans, but our thoughts go straight to Boston baked beans, the kind made with molasses. I would like to take you a little farther north of Boston, and introduce you to a classic Quebecois staple known as feves au lard, which uses maple syrup instead. This recipe begins with Navy beans, but though not as true to the original, you can use cannellini, kidney, or black beans - or any bean that can hold up well to the long cook time. From The Gourmet Cookbook."
