Drain the bean water into another pot. Add fresh water to the beans, heat, and taste. Still too salty? - dump them. not salty enough? add some old water back to suit your taste buds.

Don't Throw Them Beans Out!

If the above doesn't work, put a large peeled potato in and cook for 20 minutes to 1/2 hour and then remove the potato.



Try adding about 1 teaspoon up to 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Increase water by one cup and remove any large pieces of salt meat. Well definitely neutralize the salty flavor but the sodium content overall is still the same for those watching their salt intake.

Black eyed peas aren't salty. Add fresh water to the pot to dilute the salt and pour out the excess water. Talk to your cook also. By not quick preping them. you dont add in salt, but let the beans sit in plain water for a minimum of 8 hours.

Add more unsalted stock or broth and drain a bit off...

and

I've just been searching the net for a way to prevent the saltiness the next time (if there is a next time) and what I've come up with (courtesy of http://the.earth.li/~neve/recipes/mum-lentilsoup.html ) is:

"... you have to watch out that the meat is not too salty as this can make the soup too salty, always check the taste of the liquid before you start making the soup, and try soaking the ham for a few hours before cooking it in fresh water as this should remove some of the salt."

Can salty baked beans be saved?

If its not too horribly salty, then hopefully yes. Usually the addition of an acid or sweetener can reduce the salty taste in most foods. Examples of acids and sweeteners: vinegar, lemon or lime juice, canned unsalted tomatoes, sugar, honey, maple syrup. I think your best bet for salty baked beans would be to add small amounts of brown sugar. Also, I wouldn't cook the beans anymore (if they are done) because boiling them can evaporate even more liquid and make them even saltier. Hope this helps.
