About

From the gal who likes to play Rummy with her card-playing girls as much as she likes to drink rum with her vacay-going girls, it wasn't a huge surprise to us when our beloved grandmother showed up to our family potluck with what she called Granny's Rum Baked Beans. Loaded up with five kinds of beans, the sweet and tangy sauce it's soaked in is infused with... you guessed it! Rum! She claims it adds a blast of fun and lots of flavor, just like her. Goodness gracious, she is something else. So, when you're looking for some fun and flavor, Granny's Rum Baked Beans have you covered!
