Aunt Duddie Cans Dry Kidney Beans The Easy Way

Aunt Duddie Cans Dry Kidney Beans The Easy Way

The easy way to can dry beans! Wash and sort beans. Add 1 cup of beans to a quart jar, 1/2 tsp salt and a chunk of onion. Add boiling water to within 1/2 inch of top. Release air bubbles. Lid and band jars. Put into warm water in your pressure canner and process for 90 minutes at 11 pounds of pressure. Let pressure drop on it's own and remove weight and exhaust for at least 10 minutes. Carefully remove canner lid, let jars rest in water for a few minutes, remove to a thick towel and let cool for 24 hours. Check for seal, wash jars and label. You can use kidney beans, lima beans, pinto beans, Great Northern, etc., but not black beans or lentils. I don't know why not..... But I follow the rules. UPDATE - If you want to can black beans or lentils start with a test quart of 1/2 cup of beans to make sure it works. I have read up on black beans and it seems they can form a solid 'bean block' if you use too many so try 1/2 cup. As for lentils they are tiny enough to get under the seal of the lids. I have not canned either of these beans so feedback would be appreciated. Enjoy
