I have been doing it that way for over 30 years. I also got my instructions from Mother Earth News. I dry and raw can a lot of different foods, just pay attention to the pressure and cooking time and you will be fine. It takes more time to can raw foods and the pressure must remain constant but the extra time and attention is worth the work saved by doing it this way.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527543324728498682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-55571137234087297632013-02-11T22:32:49.201-06:002013-02-11T22:32:49.201-06:00remember to always boil your beans 10 minutes befo...remember to always boil your beans 10 minutes before eating. and meat, and green beans and other low acid foods. we don't want anyone getting botulism.stitchinkitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08078252094624978421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-28946139097709913012012-12-09T09:56:33.509-06:002012-12-09T09:56:33.509-06:00Most of my beans now are saved seeds from my own s...Most of my beans now are saved seeds from my own stash. There are Dragon Tongue which is an open pollinated horticulture bean, southern field peas which are also open pollinated and double as a green manure crop to improve soil and a dried red bean. Also have Lina Cisco's Bird Egg and Apple Creek Annie which are all dried beans. Most of the original seeds came from Seed Savers Exchange. They have an excellent collection of open pollinated bean seeds that can be saved from year to year. In a pinch though I have even planted dried beans from the grocery store with success. the canned quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161381921874364319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-62158857019550387922012-12-09T03:50:22.191-06:002012-12-09T03:50:22.191-06:00I'm wanting to grow my own beans and I seen wh...I'm wanting to grow my own beans and I seen where you said you also grew your own.

I started out using the 2/3 cup measure but found that it didn't leave the beans fully submerged after canning. I like a little juice when I use the beans, so I've found 1/2 cup works better *for me*....Also, you CAN leave the salt out--hubby has high blood pressure, so I leave out the salt in all my canning & add later. Wonderful tutorial & great pictures!!!

Years ago I lived on a farm in Arkansas and I learned to can dry beans by putting them directly into the jar with the boiling water and pressuring them. It worked great. But, my life changed, I didn't can anything for years, and I lost the instructions, which I had originally gotten from Mother Earth News. I couldn't find directions on their website so I set out to find them online and bingo! This is the first site I opened. I was a little discouraged by the lengthy instructions above, but I decided to see what others had commented, and there were the instructions I was looking for!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055426875379336150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-77951309180192423112012-03-13T08:36:49.650-05:002012-03-13T08:36:49.650-05:00Rings left on have trapped moisture beneath from t...Rings left on have trapped moisture beneath from the canner.

Place 2/3 C dry beans & 1/2 tsp salt in each pint jar. Fill each jar with boiling water and take out air bubbles. Pressure can @ 15 pounds pressure for 60 minutes. That's it! If you want to do quarts you use 1 1/4 C beans and 1 tsp salt. Try it... you'll never go back to the Ball book for beans :-) Like I said I trust the Ball book exclusively for many things but I also tend to trust tried and true, seasoned canner's opinions too LOL If they've been canning for years, as you and I have been, then I trust them LOL Just don't tell the USDA LOLFreedom Acres Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606668264641600520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-50057609562469885322012-01-19T06:39:59.574-06:002012-01-19T06:39:59.574-06:00This year I bought organic dried beans and canned ...This year I bought organic dried beans and canned them :O).
