So far I've put up dilly beans, kidney beans and today is turkey stock. When I'm done today I will have canned 24 quarts. I still have 3 turkey carcasses to make more stock from.

Denise here's the basic recipe for canning dried beans without soaking them.
Since I can for one I can in pint jars and do not know about canning in quart jars. I also like a lot of bean broth so I measure less than a 1/2 cup of dried beans. Other bean canners will use different measurements. I have two servings out of a pint.
Sort and wash the beans. Measure. Add beans to warm jars and ladle boiling water to 1" headspace. Add 1/4 tsp of Kosher salt for pints. Remove bubbles, wipe rim with damp cloth (I use Viva paper towels), put on lid and tighten the ring finger tight.
Put in canner. Can 90 mins for pints at 10 lb pressure
As you can dried beans you will work out your own method of doing them. As long as basic rules and times are followed methods can vary.
The day before canning I sort the beans, measure them, and put in 12 oz wide mouth jars covering with clean tea towel. I also fill my electric canner with water; load the jars; and remove the regulator so I don't forget to do so on canning day.
The electric canner warms the jars.
On canning day I put each jar of beans in a small strainer and wash. Put back into jars and when all 7 jars are washed I add 1/2 tsp Kosher salt. When ready to can I add each jar of beans to warm canning jar and proceed to can.
This method works for me because of dealing with MS fatigue everything has to be ready to go on canning day.

Sara,
I've been wondering how you prepare your dry beans for canning?

My son borrowed my electric canner yesterday, to can up a wild turkey he got. He is hoping it will work out like canning chicken. He did 4 packed quarts and I believe they all sealed. lol.

I haven't had Pringles in a very long time but may just have to buy a can for my lids. Would be neater than a baggie. Just like I need an excuse to eat chips.

Great success Sara. Also a good tip about keeping your jar lids washed and ready. Reg sized jar lids fit nicely in a pringles can.

Well done Michelle. I do like to look at and admire organized shelves or pantry.
Making chicken broth today to put up tomorrow. I fill my canner with water & jars the day before the day I can, makes life a lot easier for me on canning day. I also make sure I have enough washed lids, if not I wash them and when dried put in a zip-lock bag.

Yesterday was a rainy day here. So what do you do on a rainy day? You take a canning jar inventory and organize your canning shelves.
Took a bit, but glad I got it done. Even got my empty jars organized by size, lol.

Lisa, what's great about canning dried beans is we can wake up one morning and say today is the day to can those dried beans. You reminded me I need to can chicken broth so I ordered 4lbs of chicken wings to be delivered today with my weekly order. And happy to say the wings are on sale, $6 off. I seem to use the chicken broth as fast as I make it.

Sara, I am glad you had success with the Superb. I am like you, I have several others, but I have used the Superb here and there. I like the heavier feel, and that they are US made.
I need to get busy and can some beans. I am out of canned beans, but have plenty of dried. Need to get my larder restocked.
I also noticed I have a few chicken carcasses in the freezer, so broth awaits! |

I put-up 7 pints of baby green Limas today and they all sealed. Used Superb lids with Kerr wide mouth jars. I am out of Kerr wide mouth lids but have plenty of the Superb. I like to add green Lima beans to veg soup.

Michelle, I bought Superb lids after Lisa told us about them. I still have Ball & Kerr lids to use before the Superb lids. With this canning I used Kerr jar, lids, & rings.

Sara- That is great when all the jars seal. A satisfying sound, pop. I had canned beef stock a while ago, and it was the craziest thing. They popped constantly when I took them out of the canner. And they did it for a while. I thought, oh boy these are not going to seal, but they all did. that is the only thing that has ever done that to me. I have been using alot of Superb lids now. They are twice as thick/heavy as the ball or kerr. I have been having good luck. I do tighten the rings on them pretty tight.

Put-up 7 pints eye of the goat heirloom beans this morning and they all sealed. Eye of the goat beans are in the pinto bean family.
For you under 80 Farmgirls "put-up" is the term I grew up with for canning.

Sorry you have been sick, Michelle, colds can make you feel miserable.
Soups are always good to have on hand. I've been making a lot of egg noodle soup with one pint of my chicken or beef broth and egg noodles. Makes enough for two servings.

Hope all your jars seal Sara, And enjoy your beans. We finished up the syrup season, and no other canning going on. I should get some soups going, as I am out of those for quick meals. Or as I have been sick lately, sick meals. Darn cold has gotten me.

I'm not canning but I am awaiting my heirloom bean order that will be do in the coming days, it's coming by USPS so who knows when it will get here. Some of my favorite beans are back in stock, eye of the goat, Jaccob's cattle, and baby green Limas. When I am ready to can, I think I will start with the eye of the goat beans, they have been out of stock for over a year.
