Maple Baked Beans
At their best, baked beans, which have been at the center of the American table since colonial times, are both sweet and salty and have a tender bite—all of which add up to comfort food that never goes out of fashion. For the most traditional taste, look for Grade B maple syrup from Vermont, which boasts pronounced caramel flavors.
