After the hour, return beans and water to heat and bring to a simmer , still covered. Simmer for 45 minutes.
Strain beans and water through a colander , collecting the liquids in a bowl for later use.

Finely slice the bacon, place in roast pan/casserole dish, and cover with the beans, pouring the liquid mixture over top.
Cover and bake for 3 hours at 165°C (325°F), adding 125 ml (½ cup) of bean-water at the 2 ½ hour mark.
Melt butter and combine with brown sugar. Pour over the baked beans and bake, uncovered, until liquid is no longer visible.
