2 cups dried brown beans (available in specialty stores) 6 cups water 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar 1/2 cup dark corn syrup 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 small cinnamon stick



1 Pick over and rinse the beans. Add the water and soak the beans at least 12 hours.
