Baked Brown Sweden Beans, also known as Bruna Bonor, are a traditional Swedish dish that has been enjoyed for generations. This hearty side dish is made with dried brown beans, which are soaked, cooked, and then baked with a sweet and tangy sauce that includes sugar, vinegar, and cinnamon. The result is a dish that is both savory and sweet, with a texture that ranges from tender to slightly firm. Baked Brown Sweden Beans can be served as a standalone meal or as a side dish to any meat dish.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 300°F.
2.	Rinse the brown beans and sort through them to remove any stones or debris.
3.	In a large pot, add the beans, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
4.	Drain the beans and add them to a 2-quart casserole dish.
5.	In a small bowl, combine the white vinegar, dark corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon stick. Stir to combine.
6.	Pour the vinegar mixture over the beans, and stir to coat the beans.
7.	Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours or until tender, stirring occasionally.
8.	Remove the lid or foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes to thicken the sauce. Serve hot.
