I am not a huge fan of spicy foods, but for those who are, that method would be a good addition to the food storage. I keep a supply of canned dry beans without the spices and then season them according to what I use them for. It is nice to have pre-cooked beans for those times I want them for a dish but don't have the time or inclination to go through the long process of soaking and cooking them. Having them available already seasoned is a really good idea. Thanks for your comment. Perhaps it will inspire some to give your method a try.<br /><br />Wishing you and yours a Happy Easter.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-34217131773591705972017-04-14T21:57:52.953-05:002017-04-14T21:57:52.953-05:00DH cans dry beans all the time...he likes to use t...DH cans dry beans all the time...he likes to use them in chili and by canning them it helps to get rid of most of the gas. He adds a half cup of beans in a quart jar, spices, maybe a chuck of meat (2 inch square chunk of ham) and 4 packets of Taco Bell hot sauce, fill with hot water to the bottom of the rim (so 1" head space) and into the canner for 90 minutes. He does it in pint jars too, using a 1/4 cup of beans. <br />It works well. I've taken some and made a bean dip out of the canned beans...just mashed them up good and popped them into the fridge to chill. He does like it spicy, but usually it isn't too hot for me. I think running them through the canner takes some of the bite out of the heat. <br />It does get hot when he puts a chunk of hot pepper in with the beans or when we do tomatoes and are trying to use up the <br />Anaheim's or the Pablono's. Then stuff gets spicy/heat.<br />We have done all sorts of beans this way. White, kidney, pintos, black, navy. He has mixed them up too...so 1/4 of black with 1/4 cup of white, etc.<br />I did the same thing without all the spices/meat for chick peas as I like them over salads.<br /><br />Have a Blessed Easter :)Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117433684554337583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-59536204237699585822017-04-14T16:36:59.646-05:002017-04-14T16:36:59.646-05:00SJ...It was a good day.

And I know of no reason not to use other kinds of beans as long as you stick to the 1/3 cup measurement. I was thinking about using kidney beans or red beans for a change of pace.<br /><br />Here is me wishing you a blessed Easter, my friend.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-39319317689891794872017-04-14T16:19:32.687-05:002017-04-14T16:19:32.687-05:00You are welcome.

I know about canning dry beans because I put too many in jars and it took a long time to clean out the inside of my pressure canner. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-51766819782244169462017-04-14T16:08:45.417-05:002017-04-14T16:08:45.417-05:00Sounds like an awesome and productive day.
Questio...Sounds like an awesome and productive day.<br />Questions: Headspace on the jars?
