Instructions

Strain the maple beans through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving 2 teaspoons of the liquid.
Add the mayonnaise, reserved bean liquid, crushed garlic, and finely chopped jalapeños.
Stir until well combined.
For the best flavor, let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the garlic and maple flavors meld

Notes

Expert Recipe Tips:

The "Zing" Factor: If the aioli feels too sweet, add an extra teaspoon of the vinegar liquid from the jalapeño jar. The acid cuts through the sugar in the beans perfectly.
Make it Ahead: This actually tastes better on day two! It’s a great make-ahead condiment for a big Stampede BBQ.

Storage:

Fridge: Store this bean and jalapeno aioli in an airtight container or a clean glass jar for up to 5 days.
Freezer: I do not recommend freezing this recipe. Mayonnaise-based sauces tend to separate and become oily when thawed.

Variations & Substitutions:

Spicy Kick: Use "hot" pickled jalapeños instead of tamed ones if you want a real Father's Day fire!
Bean Swap: If you don't have maple beans, use regular pork and beans and add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. Add a ¼ teaspoon of maple extract for a more robust maple flavor.
Smoky Version: Add a tiny drop of liquid smoke to lean into that campfire BBQ vibe.
