Curried Baked Beans- Heinz And Sainsbury's Used To Manufacture Them

[gollob]

Do they exist anymore?

Déjà vu?

Heinz still manufacture these

but they're not the same as those small cans of Curried Beans that they used to make (with sultanas in them)

You're not the first to post more than once about them though. The much-missed Mikey444 asked similar questions in both 2013

and 2015

I find that simply adding a fairly generous measure of hot curry powder to normal baked beans produces something somewhat akin to the original product but both sugar and sultanas would also be necessary to get closer to it.

[MargoTester]

Yes - Sainsbury's and Morrisons stock them apparently. Google curried baked bean stockists

[burlyshirley]

Not had those for years, quite liked them.

[Mamyalynne]

When they stopped doing the original I would take a spoonful of sultanas and the same of a good curry paste and add a little boiling water,let steep a while then add to the beans and heat.

[Jackdaw33]

A good tip, Chico. Adding sugar and sultanas should be no problem.

I always used to add some curry powder to normal baked beans.

Just on a side note, how do people like their beans? I always overcook them so they go a little stodgier. Prefer them that way.

[Mozz71]

Sorry, noticed that Chris said the same about the curry powder. Great minds etc...

[johnny.5]

I like my beans
very cherry

[iluvmargie]

I generally add a small knob of butter when they are in the pan, really tasty.

[MartinMillar]

I like my baked beans cold with mayo

[sanmac]

I like a baked-bean sandwich.

[Mamyalynne]

Powder will work if you've no paste,but the paste gives a smoother rounded taste (to me).

I still like the beans n little sausages for a lazy lunch.

[burlyshirley]

So do I sanmac !

[Jackdaw33]

Someone told me that he never heats beans in the conventional manner but fries them. Anyone tried that?

[burlyshirley]

Yes !

[Old_Geezer]

Yes. Or you could just add curry powder to a decent brand of baked beans.

[DTCwordfan]

beans and curry together - glad I am not in your bedroom afterwards.....

[gingejbee]

....or add a decent curry paste to any cheap baked beans.
