Guernsey Bean Jar
6 steps
Cook:4h
Guernsey Bean Jar is a traditional dish, slow cooked and delicious. Right until the end of the German occupation of Guernsey, bean jars, covered with brown paper and tied up with string and the family name on a label, were taken to a bakery to cook overnight. Since there was no baking on a Sunday, ovens weren’t fired up and the bean jars would cook in the residual heat of the previous day’s baking.
