Brandy Baked Black Beans

Peter's Gourmet Sauce provides the perfect blend of sweet,
tangy, flavor that will make this recipe a favorite alternative to
traditional baked beans.

You Need:

1 pound of dried black beans
1 medium onion sliced or diced
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons of brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup of Peter's Gourmet (YELLOW LABEL)
1/4 cup of brandy (E & J brand, of course)
sour cream (optional)

Preparation:

Pick through dry beans to remove any grit or small pebbles;
rinse thoroughly. Prepare beans by either placing in a bowl,
cover with 2 inches of water and soak overnight; or boil in 3-4
cups of water for 2 minutes and let stand, covered, no heat,
for an hour (see package instructions). Drain beans and
cover with 5 cups of water. Add onion, celery, bay leaf, thyme,
and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and
simmer for up to 2 hours, or until beans are tender. Stir
occasionally. Drain, but reserve 1-1/2 cups of the rich bean
liquid. Place beans in a 2 quart casserole.

Preheat oven to 350 deg. Melt butter in a saucepan on
medium-low heat. Stir in flour and whisk for three minutes.
Whisk in bean liquid, Peter's Gourmet Sauce, and brown
sugar. Raise heat to medium, and bring to a slow, bubbly
boil, stirring often. Remove from heat to stir in brandy as it is
flammable.

Pour mixture over beans and bake uncovered for 45 minutes
to an hour. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
