I have also canned plain beans, Great Northern or Pinto, and pork and beans. Here are both the recipes I used. They came from Jackie Clay.<br /><br />Canning Dry Beans<br /><br />Dry beans are very handy, canned up, as you don’t have to soak them overnight or cook them for lengthy periods to eat them. All dry beans are canned the same way. I first boil my dry beans in plenty of water and let them sit for 2 hours. Then I pack them and process them as usual. This means heat the beans and liquid to boiling, then drain, saving liquid. Pack jars 3/4 full with hot beans, add small pieces of fried lean bacon or ham, if desired, then fill with hot cooking liquid, leaving 1 inch of headspace. Process pints for 75 minutes and quarts for 90 minutes.<br />=================== <br /><br />Easy Canned Beans<br /><br />2 lbs. of dried Navy Beans<br />Sauce:<br />6 cups water<br />1 cup Molasses<br />1 cup Brown Sugar<br />2 tsp. Ground Mustard<br />1 Tbsp. Salt<br /><br />Directions:<br />Put dried beans in a large dutch oven or kettle and cover well with water. <br /><br />Bring to a boil and cook for 1 hour. Keep water level deep enough to keep the beans covered. <br />Turn off heat and let soak for 2 hours. <br /><br />Drain and rinse the beans in a colander. <br /><br />Divide the beans into canning jars filling the jars about 2/3 full of the beans.<br /><br />Sauce:<br /><br />Mix all ingredients together and heat well to dissolve the molasses & brown sugar. <br />Pour over the beans in the jars, leaving 1 inch head space below the jar rims. <br /><br />With a damp cloth, carefully wipe the jar rims to be certain no sauce is left on the rim. <br /><br />Place a flat lid that has been warmed up in water on each jar & place on a ring.<br /><br />The jars are processed in a pressure canner. Check your canner's directions for specific instructions concerning the amount of pressure you need for your altitude.<br /><br />Pint jars are processed for 65 minutes.<br />Quart jars are processed for 75 minutes.<br /><br />This recipe will make about 20 pints of beans.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-90627823325480013832022-03-11T13:30:24.627-06:002022-03-11T13:30:24.627-06:00Vicki, a while back you told us you canned beans. ...Vicki, a while back you told us you canned beans.

Seems I am always praying.<br /><br />I don't know what happened to Frank and Fern either. I wonder if they decided to go 'gray man.' Their email is listed on their blog and I think I will email them. It has been a year since they posted.

Our governor is certifiably nuts, but at least he isn't pushing the 'green new deal' quite as strongly as yours is.
