  1. This is exactly the way I can pintos to make fast refried beans. I use 1 tsp of salt for each quart, then when I open it, I add a generous spoonful of bacon lard to the pan. The canned beans, juice and all, follow. I cook them on high, smashing the beans with a masher. Just a few minutes later, voila!, refried beans with no fuss!
     
  2. I would like to thank you for this oh so easy recipe. I was asked to can browns beans by my DH 82yo Gpa. They turned out Wonderful and I will be doing a assortment of dried beans and peas for my own family before winter hits. Needless to say I have told everyone within ear shot about the beans and how they turned out. Thank you again for helping me to make my DH Grandpa happy.
     
  3. Just open my first jar of the beans to make bean soup. They were wonderful. For the soup, we sauteed some onions, added some ham chuncks to the onions, a little water and poured in the canned beans. Quick and easy for a weekday meal. <br/><br/>I canned the beans two different ways. Some jars exactly like the recipe and others with a broth. The jar I used was with the broth.<br/><br/>Using the broth. My son had roasted a whole hog in his roaster for a customer. I took the skins and bones and simmered them making a broth. I then degreased it by refrigerating over night. Scooped of the fat and reheated. Returned it the refrigerator overnight. Degreased the next day and pressure canned it. Wasn't satisfied with the canned broth. Another 1 1/2" of fat on top. I opened the 2 1/2 quarts of broth I had canned, spooned off the fat and used the broth in this this recipe. I laddled out the beans using the side of the pan to drain some of the bean water off. I then heated up the pork broth to a boil and added it to my beans. I proceeded with the recipe as directed. The end result was great.<br/>My beans from this recipe were perfectly cooked. I used Great Northen beans.<br/>I did can some beans exactly as the recipe directed. I am sure I will be just as satisfied with them when I use them.
     
  4. Two question: do I have to pressure cook or are there waterbath methods? Can I do this with a batch of pintos that are already fully cooked?
     
  5. Thanks for a great recipe, though I'll be glad when the bean smell dissapears! I canned great northern and kidney, didn't add salt though since there is usually enough in the recipes that I use them for. Canned 50 pints...anyone need some beans?

I love to cook. I also love to garden, both vegetables and flowers are my passion. I enjoy the great out doors, also, looking for new and interesting recipes to make for my family. Baking in the cooler fall and winter months fills the home with such wonderful aromas, plus living in the Great Lakes State, sometimes you do not see the sun for weeks. So filling the home with inviting aromas with fresh baked breads, cakes, cookies or hearty stews and soups is a must to lift the spirits! Canning is another one of my passions. I love the taste of "Good " home canned produce, expecially when it comes out of my garden! The produce truly is a gift From God, and I am very thankful for it! Hobbies: I live on a mini farm, raising Chickens and turkeys. I also have 5 German Shorthaired Pointer dogs that take up a lot of my time. I also enjoy playing cards and get togethes with family and friends. Health: I'm always looking and researching on what things makes us healthy. I really enjoying researching on line different new products for good health. Somethings I order, just don't pan out, while other, have really helped my health improve. I always try to go the natural way. I would love to some day buy all organic cotton bedding, cloths, but that can be very expensive. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/1586527_82d4ffc3-m3_1236405280.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/4th%20of%20July/4811_126919.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <a href=http://www.glitter-graphics.com title='Myspace Graphics'><img src=http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/157/157178bw81qvo6oz.gif width=349 height=357 alt='myspace layouts, myspace codes, glitter graphics' border=0></a> My Summer gardens! <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w9.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w9.photobucket.com/albums/a63/MichAgain/1168962640.pbw" height="360" width="480"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/getyourown.gif" style="border-width: 0;" vspace="1"></a>
