Method

Soak beans overnight. 


Drain and transfer to a large pot. 


Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. 


Reduce to a simmer and cook until they are tender but not mushy, about 1 hour (depending on the variety of beans used). 


Drain and return to the pot and add the onion.


In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, cider vinegar, mustard power, cayenne, salt and pepper. 


Pour over beans and onions. 


Stir to coat. 


Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to very low. 


Slowly simmer beans, stirring fairly often to prevent sticking. 


Cook until the sauce is thickened and the beans are flavorful, for about 1 1/2 hours partially covered. 


Adjust seasonings to taste before serving.


To cook beans in a slow cooker, toss cooked beans and onions in a crock pot. 


Whisk together all remaining ingredients.


Pour over the beans and onions stirring well. 


Cover and cook over low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally, if possible.
