Baked Beans

One of my friends is new to dutch oven cooking and was thinking of doing a batch of beans. I can't eat beans myself, so figured this group would be the place to ask. He was thinking of adding molasses and salt pork, or maybe maple syrup and venison. Any recommendations?

    Molasses gives them a nice sharp flavor, maple syrup might be a little sweet at least for my liking. After blanching the beans until soft lightly boil them then drain again before adding to the pot, helps reduce the dreaded after effects.
