MOLASSES BAKED BEANS WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Set oven rack in lower middle position; preheat to 325°F. Heat heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon; cook until crisp, stirring often. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings from pot. Add onion; sauté until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add ginger; sauté 1 minute. Stir in beans with juice, molasses, vinegar, and bacon; bring to simmer. Transfer to 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bake until top is dark brown and bubbling, about 2 hours. Let stand 15 minutes; serve.

MAPLE AND GINGER BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Soak the dried beans in a large pot of water overnight, then drain. Refill the pot with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour.
• While the beans are cooking, mix together the maple syrup, molasses, brown sugar, ginger, mustard powder, salt, pepper and water. Set aside.
• Place onion wedges into the bottom of a 3 quart or larger slow cooker. Place salt pork cubes over the onion. Drain the beans, and transfer to the slow cooker. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the beans. If there is not enough liquid to cover the beans, add a little more hot water.
• Cover, and cook on the Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or cook on High for 5 to 6 hours. If cooking the beans on High, you will want to check occasionally in case they need a little bit more water. If the beans are too juicy for your liking, leave the lid off for the last 30 minutes to steam off some of the liquid.

GINGER SNAPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and spices together. Set aside. Grease 2 large cookie sheets with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until smooth. Add the egg, molasses and lemon zest. Beat well. Gradually add the dry ingredients. Beat until smooth. Dust teaspoonfuls of dough with the sugar. Drop them onto the cookie sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Flatten each piece into a disc. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
