 1tsp. black pepper continously  20 minutes, until thickened slightly.

                Set aside to cool Note try other fruit preserves  like peach or apricot instead of cherry.  

Directions to Franklin beans:  Combine beans, onion, ban seasoning and water in a large pot and let set overnight.Aadd the brisket bark and meat to the soaked beans and bring to a boil Lower heat to a slow simmer and cook, covered,3-4 hours, until tender.   Norm note I will use canned baked beans drained, soften the onion in butter, add to beans with bean seasoning to taste. Or I might use Gates seasoning instead with the onion added.

Gates Beans-my version- I only use ingredieht 2 -5 stored in a 12 ounce bottle and adding enough to however much Bushes Baked Beans I am using at the time. I put them in an open pot in the smoker and let them smoke with the meat.  I chop up some of the meat and add it to the beans and some of the juice from the meat   Next time I'll add some softened onions and see if that is an improvement.
