Blueberry Beans

[Central PA Cowboy]

Haven’t been here in a bit, so posting up a recent smoke. Did some smoked beans and added blueberries. Came out awesome!

What the what! Blueberry smoked beans!!!
Sounds awesome! Is this like wicked baked beans?

 

[jcam222]

I'll bet they were tasty. Lots of blueberries around right now

 

[mr_whipple]

Huh... I love blueberries and would never have thought to put them in beans. Sounds interesting!

 

[SmokinEdge]

Now that’s interesting. I make all kinds of fruit or berry glaze for meat but in the beans would work as well. Nice work

 

[indaswamp]

Hell yeah! that sounds delicious! Recipe please!

Well now, I just happened to be cooking Dutch's Wicked beans tomorrow and also have 3 pints of fresh blueberries in the fridge. I have always subbed peaches for the pineapple in his recipe, but tomorrow will be blueberries...

It is to an extent. Used Great Northern beans and some blueberry pie filling.

If you see this early enough, grab a can of blueberry pie filling as well. You’ll love them!

Looks great.

Cranberries work very well also.

Well I didn't see this soon enough, BUT I just happen to have sugar free blueberry preserves so thanks for the ideas. Didn't really measure, but added maybe a cup if I had to guess and most of a pint of the fresh blueberries. Also used Swerv in place of the brown sugar that Dutch's recipe called for, trying to reduce sugar as much as possible. Next time I'll use a low/no sugar ketchup. The initial taste is good so we'll see what it tastes like after a couple of hours in the smoke. Here it is...

I'll be back later...

That is a beautiful tray full of beans! I would love a bowl of that!

The beans turned out great with excellent flavor. I made Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans but used an equal part of Swerv instead of brown sugar, fresh blueberries instead of the canned pineapple, and also added maybe a cup of sugar free blueberry preserves. I'm very satisfied with how they turned out and want to thank Central PA Cowboy for the ideas...

These were served as a side for a pulled smoked butt, cole slaw, and of course fresh corn. Nothing I would change except for maybe a sugar free ketchup to make it even lower sugar...

Looks like CPAC helped you find your thrill.
