Recipes from Massachusetts
Massachusetts is known for a variety of foods. The Puritan colonists did not cook on Sundays so they would cook baked beans on Saturday to serve the next day. These became known as Boston baked beans.
Also attributed to Boston is the famous steamed brown bread that is traditionally baked in cans.
