SYLVIA'S EASY BAKED BEANS

Sylvia's Easy Baked Beans image

One of my very dear friends shared this easy yet tasty "doctored up" beans recipe and I have relied on it for years. I usually like to use Bush's Maple Cured Beans in this. Sylvia used regular pork & beans when I first tasted it. Either way it is delicious.

Sylvia's Butterbeans and Okra image

This is a southern soul-food classic which is a snap to prepare. If okra turns you off, look elsewhere! The pickled pork gives it a great flavor so don't substitute regular ham.
