Maine Baked Beans image

During the summer the United Methodist Mission where my husband works holds weekly Potluck suppers for the work groups that come from all over the United States to rehab housing for the elderly and handicapped people of Northern Franklin County in Maine. I have made these beans for years and never bring more than a couple of spoon fulls home.
