Baked Beans with Pineapple Happy Memorial Day

Hello to all my foodies friends out there in web land here is a quick and easy way to make some great Baked Beans for your B.B.Q.'s today and the great cook outs you will be having this summer.

I want to say thank you so much to the fallen heros that ahve fought and died for our country and our freedoms.  Hugs to all their families.  My mom used to make the best home made Baked Beans, she made them the Boston way.  However in today's world you can make them a little faster by using canned Pork-n-Beans.  My mom's beans would take a whole day to cook not that that's a bad thing but go for it if you wish.  She would use molasses instead of syrup but I say use what you have and most people have syrup in their homes and am into using what is in the pantry myself.  You know that's one of the reasons I starting the cooking show was so I could show you all how to cook with spices that you normally have in your spice cabinet.  I hate trying to cook a recipe and end up using a spice that I only use once and let's face it, spices are very expensive to only use once!  I have changed my mom's way of making these beans to add more flavor.  I also am adding some Pineapple Chunks to the mix. So I say go for it!  Even hot peppers are a nice addition but not to many, I can't take that kind of  hot.  Any who a tidbit on food is when you are making your Potatoe Salad mix all your spices in while the\potaotes are hot, it adds more flavor to the salad.  I want you to also try mixing Lemon Juice with about 3 TBSP of sugar added instead of vineager to your sauce for your potatoe salad, you will love it trust me on this.  I hope the spelling is OK on this my spell check doesn't seem to be working and am typing fast because I need to get ready for guest coming today.  Any way here is the recipe for your B.B.Q.'s this summer.  Crock Pot may also be used with this recipe and always spray oil on  your pans before using them, it helps with cleanups and am all about clean ups.
