Apricot Pork and Beans Recipe
Pork and beans – an “All American” side dish that I gave a little tweak to recently. We love the white Great Northern beans and I used them in this version with some dried apricots to create a side dish that could just as easily be served as a main dish. My sweetie was raised up on rice, a Carolina crop for centuries, and asked for some on the side. It made a nice little meal!
