Proper baked beans

There is nothing posh about these baked beans, they are just done properly without all the rubbish, plus they are actually baked. And they taste awesome, like baked beans should.

You can change the butterbeans for haricot or cannellini beans, which would be the more traditional choice. I like to use beans from jars as opposed to tins, as I find the quality better and I can include the juices around them. Dried beans that have been soaked overnight would work but would need cooking first. Tinned are fine, but I always drain and rinse them as I don’t like the taste of the brine around them.

I use liquid smoke here, but its not essential as can be difficult to get hold of.
