2 cups dried cranberry, borlotti or pinto beans, soaked overnight

1 medium red onion, chopped

1/4 cup molasses

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

3 cups berry beer (eg raspberry beer) Get extra to drink. ;o)

1/2 cup dried berries and/or cherries, loosely chopped

2 cups light vegetable broth

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

sea salt

Preheat oven to 350

In a large casserole dish, heat the olive oil and saute the onion for a minute. Stir in the molasses, mustard, red pepper flakes, beans, beer, dried berries and broth. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in the oven for for @ 1 1/2 hours. or until beans are tender (keep checking after an hour or so as every batch is different.) Add more broth or water if needed. When the beans are tender, remove the pot from the oven. If the beans finish cooking before the cooking broth really thickens up, put the casserole dish back up onto the stove top, uncover and bring the pot to a boil until the liquid has more body (5-10 minutes).

To season the pot: stir in the smoked paprika and a few generous pinches of salt. Taste and add more salt if necessary.

A big pot serves 8-10 people.
