Rinse pinto beans, and preheat oven to 375F. In a dutch oven (such as le creuset), heat the pancetta, release the fat and brown slightly. Add the onion and soften. Turn off the heat. Add the rinsed beans, 1 cup of water, the chicken bouillon, the maple syrup, brown sugar, and the cranberries and black pepper to taste. Stir gently and bake in oven for 45 min at 375F.
