Will it radically affect the flavour of the dish? it is haricot beans soaked overnigt, then cooked with onions, tomatos, veg stock and maple syrup and brown sugar

Is it Boston Baked beans? I love that, my dad used to make it. It will be fine.

To answer your question, yes you can substitute the two, slightly different taste but it will work in the same way, it is just for flavouring, you may not even detect a difference.
