Here's a picture of the "Real" thing.

That looks like good bacon.

Cook Time: 10 hours
Total Time: 10 hours
Ingredients:
2 cups Swedish brown beans
5 cups water
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp. molasses
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup water plus 1/4 cup cornstarch (optional)
Preparation:
Place brown beans in bowl, add water to cover, and soak overnight.

Drain beans, then place in slow cooker with 5 cups water and cinnamon stick. Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or until beans are tender.

Once beans are tender, and at least one hour before serving, stir brown sugar, molasses, and vinegar into the beans. If there is still a lot of liquid in the beans, whisk together water and cornstarch and mix into beans to thicken sauce. Cover and allow to simmer for an additional hour. Remove cinnamon stick and serve warm

Sounds good! Kind of like our sweet pork and beans you can get canned. Thanks for the recipe.

My pleasure Lisa.

The closest thing in the US to "Bruna Bönor" is Bush's original beans.

They are just a tad too sweet but can be helped with a drop or two of vinegar.

Ah, yes. I can get those. Often I add chopped onions, mustard, brown sugar or ketchup and simmer it together. I'll try them with some vinegar.
