- 32 oz Great Northern Beans (white beans) drained
- 3 slices bacon
- 1 jalapeno chopped
- ½ cup red onion chopped
- 12 oz peach preserves
- ¼ cup bourbon / whiskey
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- salt & pepper to taste
In a Dutch oven over medium high heat, cook the bacon until crispy then remove and set aside on paper towels to cool. When cooled, crumble the bacon.
Leave the bacon grease in the pot and toss in the jalapeno and red onion. Saute for 5 minutes, until tender.
Stir in the drained beans, peach preserves and bourbon. Stir until the preserves have melted into the beans. Then add the dry mustard, garlic and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, to taste
Then stir in the chicken broth. Bring the liquid to a rolling simmer and reduce the liquid by half over 30 minutes.
Cover the beans and reduce the temperature to medium low. Continue to simmer for another hour - until the beans are cooked through and tender. Serve hot and enjoy!
