This is a wonderful recipe that I got from a cookbook called Lean Luscious & meatless. It takes a little bit of time to prepare but is well worth the effort. It is the best baked beans I have ever had. You can substitute baby limas for the navy beans. I have changed a few things from the original recipe to suit my own taste so feel free to add any of your favorite seasonings. Rinse & drain beans.
