💡 No need to soak the beans beforehand, saving you preparation time.These baked beans freeze well; store them in individual portions for easy reheating.Use maple syrup instead of molasses for a slightly different, sweeter flavor profile.You can adjust the sweetness or saltiness to suit your taste by reducing sugar or salt pork.
