As someone who has no one to teach me how to can, I greatly appreciate that you took us through the whole process. I've canned a few things and am getting more confident. I hope by this fall I'll be able to show my dad how to can his own venison and one day be brave enough to teach others this vital skill. Thank you for sharing your talent and teachings.
I can beans also. So great to have on hand. When I date mine, I always put the month, day, and year because, If you might have a batch that doesn't taste right or maybe come unsealed. then you can see if the others in that batch are okay.
It never occurred to me that I should can my own beans until a couple years ago. I normally grow some dry beans every year, but soaked them before using in recipes. Last year I grew Jacob's cattle, this year I went with Pinto beans. That way I save some different varieties of bean seeds. I could use the lower separate garden for two kinds of dry beans so they wouldn't cross-pollinate, but I have enough to do! Anyway, like most things you do yourself, home canned dry beans are really tasty! These have been added to my pantry as a staple, just like green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. Added bonus: Do them in January or something, not when you are busy with tomatoes, corn, beans, etc.
I like your page but wanted to let you know that after looking at a few studies, I didn't see anything that said that phytic acid would like steal your existing nutrients. Rather, it can inhibit the absorption of nutrients you take in at that meal, especially iron. Which is a problem if you eat beans for every meal like people in some countries do. But as long as your diet is diverse you wont be nutrient deficient or have any problems. Keep up the good work. :)
They form oxylate crystals which severely damage tissue. Cause kidney stones and are actually an emerging problem in vegan diets. Sally K Norton is a good resource, so is Elliot Overton of EO Nutrition both are on YT. 🙌💪
Excellent! And thank you for talking about the anti-nutrients. I was thinking I wouldn’t have to soak them so much if I was going to can them, but now I see why it’s important, so thank you 😊
AimHigh Homestead it’s actually not true unless you’re a vegan or a vegetarian who’s main source of protein is coming from beans. Perhaps what is more interesting is the issue of undercooked beans. Eating undercooked kidney beans can kill you. You’ll have to do your own research on it, but it’s true.
Thanks for showing me! I'm about to buy my first pressure cooker and we use black beans in a lot of winter recipes, so I need to know how to do this. You're a great teacher! 🥰😘
This is so incredibly informative! I have been wanting to can beans for so long, but have been intimidated. Thank you. If the thorough, in depth tutorial!
I first started canning in 1960 with my Mom's help.That was the first year we started heating the lids because Kerr started using less rubber apparently, because many of our jars didn't seal. In fact it was bad enough that we used lids from an unknown company. We had not seen that company before and haven't seen it since. That company sure bailed us out of a lot of trouble. The following year the rubber on the lids seemed to be better. I still heat the lids because I want to make sure they seal, and most do seal. I like the Ball Lids the best, because they last longer, especially with the high acid foods.
This is one of my goals this summer. I need to get my pressure canner checked out though. It's good to see you back. I've missed you :) Your gardening videos (especially your hubby's tutorials) were wonderful! Will there be anymore gardening videos?
Caroline this is a great video because as you suggest pressure canning beans can be tricky for sure since they absorb so much water ............ you and Josh have such vast knowledge and are so kind to share it ............. for which clearly at least 430 people are grateful for including me ............ if would be a fun video to watch the children catching some Idaho trout and you cooking or canning them ?
I am doing some black beans now. Mostly because I wanted to use the water I soaked them in to dye some yarn. You can get a very pretty blue/ gray color. Or if you heat the water you can get a brown shade.
It's fun to dye with this. It is fugitive though, so if what you use it in doesn't need to be washed or be in the sun much, it should bring you pleasure for quite a while. Have fun.
Keep up the great service to Humanity; via service to others. Your video's are not only professionally presented, but packed full of vital information for the bodies health. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your hard work. You dear, remind me of my mother. She was a never fail and always reliable person. She knew how and why. You remind me of her, a treasure of know how. God bless you your family.
I do my beans in pints, I clean and rinse my beans, I put a half a cup of beans in the jars filled with water. My canner hold 18 pints. So I set aside and soak 24 hours. Then I drain and rinse the beans in each jar and refill again with water and soak another 24 hours. I rinse again refill again and can them for 75 minutes.
I just wanted to take the time to say 'THANK YOU!!" for all the great and helpful videos you share with all of us. The information is so much appreciated, and greatly valued. I am a very appreciative and grateful subscriber. "God Bless You!, and thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the interesting information. A person can use a two prong kitchen fork to place and remove the "jiggler" weight by putting a tine through the top hole.
I like to put a use-by date on my jars. I do this because I do giveaway gift baskets, If you so not can yourself you really don't know how long a product will last on the shelf. As a maker of canned goods you have a fair idea how long YOUR jars will last.
I always wash new jars, rings, and lids. I went to the store really late at night and found they were spraying for bugs. Everything was covered with a fine mist. I wash everything I buy at the store, can goods, dressings, ceral boxes. Everything. I don't buy anything like hamburger helper or Mac and cheese type products that are not wrap in a sperate wrapper other than the box..my lids are always washed just in case of poison from the store spraying drys on them.
Thank you for all the great information. One question though. Would you be willing to do a quick video on what your canning area looks like? I’ve never used a pressure canner before.
Love your videos! So appreciate your sweet spirit and thorough teaching style. I canned your beef stew and stew meat yesterday! Turned out Great! And it was fun to do!!!
About the only difference I see in my method versus yours is in labeling. I include the month, day, year and even batch number if I can more than one batch of something in the same day. The reason I label this way is in case I find any issues with jars not sealed or losing their seal, I will know to check all the jars in that batch. It also helps keep things rotated in my pantry if I put a full date on the lid. Especially with something like green beans where I will be canning several times a week for a while and have 120+ jars in my pantry from one season, I like to keep them rotated and keep the batches together. I have only ever had one jar in about 8 years of canning that didn't stay sealed (following tested recipes has probably been a big factor in that success rate), and the other jars in that same batch were all still sealed well so I can only assume I didn't clean the rim well enough. You do a fantastic job of giving step by step instructions and explaining many of the why's for the various steps. I like the additional step of running your bare (clean) finger over the rim to check for any bits of salt or food that was missed with the rag.
Awesome video. Thank you for being so thorough. I’ve always been nervous about pressure canning but you are giving me the courage to try and the confidence that I’m making a safe product.
careful with those lids I have had them leak when they were on tight. set one outside in the rain you will find water inside more than likely great video thank you
Thank you Carolyn !! Great video !! I have jars of dried beans on my shelf.. Now.. I am tempted to can them all up ! :) Still need my PC though. So i will have to wait for that ! Been looking at Yard sales, thrift stores, etc. for a PC. I want an All American. But so far.. no luck. God willing, I will be able to get one before the harvest !
Hi---love your channel---I saw it when I was watching Rain Country----you are one busy girl! I also have a small homestead (trying!) and I can a lot--never tried beans...will now! Thank you for the beautiful video (it much appreciated). Have an awesome day out there.
Is the soaking the same for all Dry beans? Cause as a latin, I know that white beans and black beans are very different times to soften them. Black beans take much longer than white navy beans before becoming soft.
I would like to have the instructions in a sheet to add to my Abundant Pantry Canning notebook. I was hoping you would have a link. I guess I need to watch it again and make notes. Thanks for the information on canned beans from the store. I never knew that!
Thank you for your video, I love the information and the support you give! You make the daunting task of canning much easier for us. Do you ever have problems when you open your counter outside of jars breaking with the cold temperatures?
Can you put other seasonings in before you can, when you put the salt or are you better off leaving them plain? Also, I’m new and I’m sure you’ve got a video, but do you have a video of your outside canning station? Thank you so much for all your videos! 💕
This is great!! But I do have a question regarding canning outside. I have wanted to can outside for a long time now but was a nwrvous nelly with the large temperature difference with the outside temp and jars. Isn't that similar to shocking them in cold water and have you ever had jars break from this?
Do you add any acid to the soaking water to remove the phytic acid? Also do you grease the rim of the canner I have seen some people do that. I have never used mine and am about to use for the first time. Thanks
I know this is an older video, but hopefully you will still view this post. As to canning beans, can you mix bean types to can together? I like mixed bean types in chili, so thought canning a variety together would save jars and time.
Do you know about adding whey to soaking beans, grains, nuts to increase digestibilty while removing phytates? Love your videos! Learning so much! Thank you!
I just order my all American canner and I am a beginner. I have seen some videos where the beans are not soaked or pre cooked. Is this ok? Have you ever done it that way? I am really confused why some precook it and some don’t🤔
recently i canned some old dried beans above 11 pounds pressure at 850 feet for 75 minutes (24 new wide mouth pint jars) fava, pinto, mayacoba, pink and kidney. used a little too many and some above liquid level. they all sealed. the next day, when i opened a window and a breeze came in, there were 4 or 5 additional pinging sounds from the jars. they all sound the same when i tap with a spoon and feel sealed 2 weeks later. thoughts???????? is this a normal thing???
Hi Carolyn, Would you mind commenting on this endless question? The dry bean canning issue. Can you please tell me what the deal is regarding canning dry beans? They say that the pressure cooker will possibly not penetrate the bean adequately. Due to the tests done for canning beans that are presoaked or cooked. I have been told that my beans will be fine then the same RUclipsr changed to always soaking. Now Im wondering about my canned beans?? I have noticed that my presoaked beans peel and get all wrinkly. Also if my beans were to get spoiled, wouldn't the seals on my jars be compromised? Wouldn't a broken seal prove spoilage? or am I missing something? Thank you for any help on this. Carol
As someone who has no one to teach me how to can, I greatly appreciate that you took us through the whole process. I've canned a few things and am getting more confident.

You just may the most joyful, pleasant person to watch on RUclips!

Christine McCombs so smart thanks for sharing!
that is very SMART! Thanks for the tip!

I do navy beans like this also. They are so handy. I can have a quick bean soup on the table in 15-20 minutes with canned beans.

It's only 8:30 AM and now i am craving black beans , spicy rice and crusty bread . Thank's a lot 😂🤣👍👏
Excellent! And thank you for talking about the anti-nutrients. I was thinking I wouldn’t have to soak them so much if I was going to can them, but now I see why it’s important, so thank you 😊
"you may forget that you are canning, and that could be a mess."
That sounds like the voice of experience... :)
I watched the video about 5 times. I finally did my pinto beans. Thank you so much!!! I’m soaking my beans from now on.
Oh my goodness I woke up this morning looking for information on how to can my beans for easy quick use!!! Thank you!
What a huge pot!
I had no idea about how important soaking the beans is.. thank you for sharing.

thank you, again, your videos show things as simple as they should be
Thank you, Carolyn, dear.
You have a very relaxed but informative and instructional tone. Great video!
You guys are such good instructors. Thank you!
This is so incredibly informative! I have been wanting to can beans for so long, but have been intimidated. Thank you. If the thorough, in depth tutorial!
I'm so happy to learn this process for beans
I'm glad you and your family are home now. My condolences to your husband.
Always good info, from you and your husband. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to share all your wonderful Info.
Just this week I canned black beans and pintos. We use lots of beans! Great video!
I first started canning in 1960 with my Mom's help.That was the first year we started heating the lids because Kerr started using less rubber apparently, because many of our jars didn't seal.

I love that you give people the why. I can and understood that but others may not have. I love the canning recipes.
I really missed this kitchen/canning time. Thx for popping back.
Keep up the great service to Humanity; via service to others. Your video's are not only professionally presented, but packed full of vital information for the bodies health. Thank you.
I appreciate this tutorial. I've seen a lot of videos for a "no soak" method and I know this is not good to do. Thank you for the traditional recipe.
My favorite healthy fast food. Baked potatoe and cooked beans!
Thank you so much for your hard work. You dear, remind me of my mother. She was a never fail and always reliable person. She knew how and why. You remind me of her, a treasure of know how. God bless you your family.
You are so good to watch you are good at giving every detail we need to know thankyou and please keep teaching us
I do my beans in pints, I clean and rinse my beans, I put a half a cup of beans in the jars filled with water. My canner hold 18 pints. So I set aside and soak 24 hours. Then I drain and rinse the beans in each jar and refill again with water and soak another 24 hours. I rinse again refill again and can them for 75 minutes.
Thank you for videos. I would love to see a set up for canning explained for beginners.
I like how your voice is lowered not high pitched. I also like how detailed you are. Good stuff.
So many helpful hints! Thank you.
I never knew about the poor effects of store canned beans. Thank you for another informative video!
I just wanted to take the time to say 'THANK YOU!!" for all the great and helpful videos you share with all of us. The information is so much appreciated, and greatly valued. I am a very appreciative and grateful subscriber. "God Bless You!, and thank you for sharing!
I watched 2 other videos to learn what I wanted. You covered exactly what I was looking for (soaking? Yes!) Thank you so much!
Love your recipes, thanks for sharing! Nancy from Canada
I love, love, love your canning videos! I'm just starting to pressure can and you are very helpful and thorough in your videos. Thank you so much!
I have had ball jars break but not often and probably my fault. Love watching your videos they are so educational
I was happy to see a new video! Love your advice , you are one of my favorites!
Thanks for the interesting information. A person can use a two prong kitchen fork to place and remove the "jiggler" weight by putting a tine through the top hole.
So glad you mentioned this. I was thinking the same thing.
Thank you for very good instruction. You are a good teacher.
You make things look so easy. I am going to start soaking some beans right now. Thank you. 😁
I like to put a use-by date on my jars. I do this because I do giveaway gift baskets, If you so not can yourself you really don't know how long a product will last on the shelf. As a maker of canned goods you have a fair idea how long YOUR jars will last.
+Barbara Louise Great thought... I love the tip!
Yay! So glad to see you back! Been waiting on a video from yall!
Where do you buy your bulk black beans?
I am so jealous of that shelf behind you. I live for the day I can have a kitchen/pantry like that.
A great presentation. I appreciate your matter-of-fact style and all the information you have given us.
Always good information on this channel thank you.
So crazy to watch you canning in the snow while I’m in a part of the country under a tropical storm warning 3 days later lol.
I think this is a good idea bc in an emergency situation we may not have alot of access to water to soak rinse and cook
I always wash new jars, rings, and lids. I went to the store really late at night and found they were spraying for bugs. Everything was covered with a fine mist. I wash everything I buy at the store, can goods, dressings, ceral boxes. Everything. I don't buy anything like hamburger helper or Mac and cheese type products that are not wrap in a sperate wrapper other than the box..my lids are always washed just in case of poison from the store spraying drys on them.
Oh my heart! I would be worried the jars would explode when they hit that cold air. It was snowing !! : )
Great instructional video! Good teacher!
Thank you for all the great information. One question though. Would you be willing to do a quick video on what your canning area looks like? I’ve never used a pressure canner before.

Your videos and information always very informative , interesting and clear, thank you !
Thank you Carolyn !! Great video !! I have jars of dried beans on my shelf.. Now.. I am tempted to can them all up ! :) Still need my PC though. So i will have to wait for that ! Been looking at Yard sales, thrift stores, etc. for a PC. I want an All American. But so far.. no luck. God willing, I will be able to get one before the harvest !
Thank you for making this video. I look forward to trying this out!
Yaaaaay!!! Carolyn is back!!!
Hi
Great video! Thank you for the lesson.
Hi---love your channel---I saw it when I was watching Rain Country----you are one busy girl! I also have a small homestead (trying!) and I can a lot--never tried beans...will now! Thank you for the beautiful video (it much appreciated). Have an awesome day out there.
Looks like January 24th up there in Idaho. Not spring yet?! Thought maybe you'd have gardening videos! Good info!
Thank you for your instructional video, how long do beans last on the shelf you put a date what is the expiration?
Thank you
spirit
Is the soaking the same for all Dry beans? Cause as a latin, I know that white beans and black beans are very different times to soften them. Black beans take much longer than white navy beans before becoming soft.
Yes.

Thank you for your video, I love the information and the support you give! You make the daunting task of canning much easier for us.
Do you ever have problems when you open your counter outside of jars breaking with the cold temperatures?
Where can I get this written out for pint jars. I love your teaching videos
Can you put other seasonings in before you can, when you put the salt or are you better off leaving them plain?
Also, I’m new and I’m sure you’ve got a video, but do you have a video of your outside canning station?
Thank you so much for all your videos! 💕
This is great!! But I do have a question regarding canning outside. I have wanted to can outside for a long time now but was a nwrvous nelly with the large temperature difference with the outside temp and jars. Isn't that similar to shocking them in cold water and have you ever had jars break from this?
I have the same question....
That is exactly what I thought when I saw the snow. I would love to know this too!
I’m pressure canning this year for the first time. I’m very paranoid about it. Thank you.
Could you add chili powders and seasonings to make chili ready beans?
I learn so much from you both. Thank you so much
Do you add any acid to the soaking water to remove the phytic acid?
Also do you grease the rim of the canner I have seen some people do that. I have never used mine and am about to use for the first time.
Thanks
Greasing the canner is if you have a metal on metal seal without a gasket.
Thanks! A close-up of the top of the beans would have been good...
I know this is an older video, but hopefully you will still view this post. As to canning beans, can you mix bean types to can together? I like mixed bean types in chili, so thought canning a variety together would save jars and time.
Will you link that pot!
What amount would you use for pint size?
My question: do you presoak the same amount of beans per jar for all types of beans?
Do you know about adding whey to soaking beans, grains, nuts to increase digestibilty while removing phytates? Love your videos! Learning so much! Thank you!
+Judy Hagan I have not used whey for that, but it would just increase the acidity and start pre-digesting them so it would work well!
What are you cooking on outside? Propane stove?
Would you please do a video on roasting coffee?
What about butter beans and garbanzo? Would the pre cooking times be the same? This looks like a fun project and thanks for the great instructions.
I just order my all American canner and I am a beginner. I have seen some videos where the beans are not soaked or pre cooked. Is this ok? Have you ever done it that way? I am really confused why some precook it and some don’t🤔
Why didn’t you use the water from the soaking pot to top off the jars?
recently i canned some old dried beans above 11 pounds pressure at 850 feet for 75 minutes (24 new wide mouth pint jars) fava, pinto, mayacoba, pink and kidney. used a little too many and some above liquid level. they all sealed. the next day, when i opened a window and a breeze came in, there were 4 or 5 additional pinging sounds from the jars. they all sound the same when i tap with a spoon and feel sealed 2 weeks later. thoughts???????? is this a normal thing???

Carol
So is this good for first time beginners
Do you have a link for your stock pots?
Where did you purchase the bulk beans? Thanks!
