I can't really give any stars because I was not able to find any brown beans so didn't make the recipe correctly. I substituted pinto beans and found this to be quite good. A very different flavor but certainly something I will make again. I thought the amount of vinegar might overpower but it was great. My 3y/o daughter absolutely annhialiated these things. Thank you for a nice recipe.
