Fabulous! We are vegetarian, so I used vegetarian bacon, and canned beans, because we were in a hurry. Followed the rest of the recipe as written, using real maple syrup. Highly recommended recipe. Thanks, katie in the UP! -
I made this over the weekend and changed it up a little. Not really the ingredients but the way that it was made. I used canned navy beans rather than dried. I cut up the bacon into small pieces and fried it. added the onion until translucent. Then added everything else except the apples. Let this simmer until thickened. Then I added the apples. It was a hit and a lot faster than 6 hours.
