Right, I am doing this (with pinto beans: butter beans were sold out, presumably because all Guardian readers in Bromsgrove are making baked beans this weekend) https://twitter.com/WvSchaik/status/1316812715478921221">https://twitter.com/WvSchaik/...

Having soaked and salted the beans (12 hrs), I am now cooking them

Starting on the sauce

Added tomatoes

Pinto beans almost done, not falling apart (yet)

Pureed sauce with stick blender. Only part of the kitchen needs repainting
