Yup, just did a quick search on "canning beans" and found tons of info!Marianne said:Okay, you sold me, now I gotta try canning beans. I suppose there's a couple threads buried here somewhere?
It's pretty basic though, I soak mine for 18-24 hours, bring to boil, then pop into jars and process. I only fill my jars 2/3 full of beans then add liquid or sauce (as for baked beans), as they will soak up more liquid.
I process pints for 75 minutes (instructions say quarts for 90 minutes, but that's too big for our uses) after venting the canner for 10 minutes then letting it come up to full pressure (as recommended for your altitude).
