So, I made your recipe with some slight modifications. Well, I opened my first jar today after pressure canning my beans earlier this week! The beans are better than any commercially canned product. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe and instructions for canning! ~MikeJayhawker One-Zerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110067452372455564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-6948595825279411972017-06-26T15:25:13.639-04:002017-06-26T15:25:13.639-04:00Dear Granny: I used your recipe and have just fin...Dear Granny: I used your recipe and have just finished with eight pints of beans. I opted not to use and pork as I do not eat it. I used honey for sweeter. My only error was not adding enough water to the sauce. I ran a little short on sauce. However I think 4 cups of water is better and will use that next time. I weighed out the ingredients for each jar, as that's the way commercial canners do ingredients. I did four ounces of washed and sorted beans, 50 grams of chopped onions in each jar, then a cup of sauce which I tailored to my liking. I followed you instructions to the letter as to canning and ALL eight of my jars have now gone "ping." Thanks for a GREAT recipe for beans that I can eat on the diet I must follow.Jayhawker One-Zerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110067452372455564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-61634257612309460982017-05-02T10:55:18.674-04:002017-05-02T10:55:18.674-04:00Good morning :) I have a bean related question.......Good morning :) I have a bean related question....

The reason you must hydrate your beans first is that the processing times given for beans are for fully hydrated beans. The heat must be able to penetrate the bean and kill any botulism spores. When you use dry beans, it is not long enough to both penetrate and hydrate the bean and kill any botulism spores. Other than that, the recipe looks good.Of course I can!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06623075434059475523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-43567104982424291632016-08-12T19:02:20.323-04:002016-08-12T19:02:20.323-04:00I made your recipe today filled with trepidation a...I made your recipe today filled with trepidation and worry that it might not turn out. What a wonderful surprise! Delicious! I did alter your recipe a little, using the measurements as my guide. I used my own canned tomatoes rather than purchased tomato sauce. I increased the molasses to 3 tablespoons. In my next batch, I'll increase it by one more tablespoon again. There was only enough liquid for seven pints, however, so I'll increase that by 2 cups in my next batch. I used bacon rather than salt pork. In my next batch, I'll use thick cut naturally smoked bacon. Thank you for getting me started with this. One pint serves the two of us (my Husband and I) perfectly.CharMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198242220739327018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-12237187969770769432016-08-08T02:00:28.221-04:002016-08-08T02:00:28.221-04:00Just finished pc my pork and beans and they turned...Just finished pc my pork and beans and they turned out beautiful except I left out one little thing and it was the molasses.I will just add a little to each jar when I open them I am vision challenged and I did not see that part. How do I know cause the molasses was setting on the counter unopened. . thank you for such a wonderful recipe. I also just did plain navy beans and they looked so good I wen ahead and opened a jar. All I need was corn bread, but at 2 am I an not firing up the oven to cook.

However, you shou...At that price, you're right. However, you should check at places like grocery outlets, Dollar Stores, bulk grocery stores, etc. You can also substitute beans with the same characteristics. You will need to do a little research first to find them, but it will be worth it in the end. I got a bunch of Roman beans at 50 cents a pound at an outlet store. When I find them like that, I buy LOTS. I use the Roman beans in place of others - kidney, pinto, etc. and they turn out great. <br /><br />The other thing to consider is flavor. Many times canning can come out to cost the same as getting some things at the store on sale. HOWEVER - the flavor of canning your own is sooooo much BETTER! Deciding what is worth putting time into is a personal decision, though. <br /><br />Good luck! :Dtweezlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582232237930976366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-88951783226195680692014-11-17T19:02:47.277-05:002014-11-17T19:02:47.277-05:002 cans of tomato sauce plus the other ingredients ...2 cans of tomato sauce plus the other ingredients for the sauce, including 3 cups of water... it's enough, I promise! ~~GrannyPamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199962609516013218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104582182197134900.post-9480299814246625392014-11-16T12:41:34.320-05:002014-11-16T12:41:34.320-05:00OK.....I'm not a mathematician, but 2-15 oz. c...OK.....I'm not a mathematician, but 2-15 oz. cans of tomato sauce is not sufficient for 8 pints, if you use 1 cup per pint!

A 15 oz. can of pork and beans on Amazon is only $.86. The navy beans would need to be well under $2/pound to make this economical. I am seeing them cost anywhere from $2.5o to $5/pound. I didn't even add in the cost of the other ingredients nor the energy to process for 75+ minutes. Unless one is doing it to reduce salt, sugar, etc. I really don't see the value. Would appreciate comments though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09643267150035843363noreply@blogger.com
