Thank you I am in the midst of learning this journey right now with my soaked Kidney beans and pinto beans 🤦🏼♀️ I soaked them last night thinking 2 cups per pint! Now I have 5 lbs of eh to do tonight 😢 lol 😂1st batch in the pressure canner! You gave a through video! Great job 👍🏻
I find 1\2 cup dry beans per pint. If you soak them I then have about 1 cup per pint after soaking. I fill the rest with water. Filling to the 1 inch mark. I soak my beans with a pinch of baking soda and rinse well before filling the jars. I prefer to fill the jars about 3\4 full leaving more room for water. The beans will continue to absorb water while cooking.
I loved the video! I was going to try bean canning as a safe first attempt, however, I don’t have a pressure canner!. Is there another method to canning beans with a just a water bath canner??
No, I'm sorry. A water bath canner does not get the beans up to a high enough temperature to prevent food born illness. A pressure canner is the only safe way to can them.
Tomatoes, pickles, salsa, and jams can all be done in a water bath canner. You need to look at the USDA canning safety information or use a reputable canning cookbook like Balls.
I rinsed a cleaned 15 beans package. Cleaned jars, put 1/2 cup beans in pint jar, filled with 1” head space nicely warmed water. Put in slightly warmed canner with my jars of pork I’m canning but needed 3 more jas to make 7 so I did the beans. Will this work. I have to process these with the pork 90 min. What do you think ? Fail or success ?
I soaked my pintos in fridge overnight but I needed 3 jars quick. All things were just warm. I hope they all turn out. I put my jars in oven on a big cookie sheet at 220 f. Until ready to fill when I need hot jars, hot canner etc. is sterilize point 250f ? I take my jars out of oven one at a time so they stay hot.
You want things hot, not warm. Having it too cool can cause problems. It takes longer for food to come to temp before the processing timer can start. You risk cracking jars as well because of the temperature shock. All instructions I have seen say to use hot water, hot canner, etc. Never "warm. " Opening and closing the oven to remove one jar at a time, instead of pulling them all out at once, isn't really doing you any favors in time or energy efficency. Pulling them all at once helps you do assembly line prep and the jars stay hotter because they are filled with hot food, as you go to put them in the canner.
Did you do dry beans or soaked beans. With dry beans you do run the risk of that happening. When I soak my beans, the likliness is less. They shouldn't be hard though. They should all have cooked. You might be pressuring them too high, or not steady. That causes more of the water to seep out of the jars and beans not to cook properly.
Yes, bottled water is fine. Distilled water is fine too. The white powder is natural, and can be cleaned by heating up some vinegar in it and letting it soak for 10 minutes . I have very hard well water. Lots of rust, and calcium, and even sand at times. Lol. Not something you want to can your food with. ☺️
I canned my dry beans like this: I put a cup of dried beans in a quart jar filled it with hot water and 1/2 tsp of salt then I finger tightened it and WB it for three hours
I am glad this method works for you. I do not recommend WB processing for beans because the temperature doesn't get high enough to kill the bacteria that can cause botulism. I also show both methods, so people could see the difference. 😊
I do rinse my beans usually and pick through them if I see a rock or a bad bean. But I'm not overly cautious. The rims have already been washed, just like the jars.

Great info! I am canning soaked beans today! Cranberry beans and great northern beans. Thanks bunches!

@ thanks for responding! What would you suggest that would be something easy to start with a water bath?

You process the batch for the longest time necessary. Since you say the pork is a 90 minute processing time, it will work. I don't can meats myself. 😊

Hot water and soap also will work.
Hot water and soap? Explain?
Are you able to fill the jars that full because you soaked them ? The beans won’t swell any more ?
Soaked beans, you can fill that full, yes.
I never could the beans swelled up and soaked up all the liquid, you get dry hard beans on top mush on the bottom of jar

By filtered water do you just mean bottled water. I noticed that when used in the kettle it leaves behind this white powder. Do you mean distilled?
Yes, bottled water is fine. Distilled water is fine too. The white powder is natural, and can be cleaned by heating up some vinegar in it and letting it soak for 10 minutes .
I have very hard well water. Lots of rust, and calcium, and even sand at times. Lol. Not something you want to can your food with. ☺️

Were the beans mushy with this method after opening?
The beans are very soft yes. Either way, because they are processed so long, they are very soft.
Do you pick through and wash the beans first? Also, isn’t it necessary to clean the rims first or, not necessarily for beans? Thank you ❤
I do rinse my beans usually and pick through them if I see a rock or a bad bean. But I'm not overly cautious. The rims have already been washed, just like the jars.
No need to soak them they expand in the WB
I show both dry and soaked methods, so people can see the difference and choose what works best for them. 😊
@@GardenJensJourney ok
Your so sweet wish you were my kin to spend time with ❤
Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻
Its so nice not to be looking at nasty tattoos & the nails. Your so wolesome.
I do have tattoos. But I don't show them. I'm not proud of them.
