    I worked for an old orchard for a few years as a college student. One day, a woman called and asked if the kitchen (where I worked and made Jams, jellies, chow chows and more) would recycle the jars. The kitchen couldn't, but I ended up going to their home and stuffing my little black vw bug so full that I could barely shift gears. Most of the jars were in excellent condition and I was also given two canners (water bath quality at this point, they were missing pieces to use as a pressure canner).
    I left them at my mother's house and didn't think about them again. Due to our current housing market, me, my husband and our three kids have lived with my mom for the last 6 months and now we are using all of those jars and more we have collected! I think about this family that gifted these to me each time I am canning. What a story, that the jars that once fed their family is now feeding mine. :)

    I've been canning for over 30 years and had plenty of canning jars. Since no one else in my husbands family cans, I received all of my mother in laws jars after she passed away in 2016. I wasn't about to see them get thrown out knowing how much time and love she put into providing for her family.

    I watched this long ago. I am canning beans again for the winter, so I thought I would watch it again to make certain I got the details correct. You are a sweetheart to consistently provide good tutorials on such important subjects. Here, at the end of 2023, the food shortages are being predicted for this winter. My pantry is fairly well stocked, but at age 75, I need to have more convenient foods ready for those days when I just don't want to make the effort to prepare from scratch. Like you, we create very little trash. We aim to keep our good footprints high and our ugly footprints very low. So, today, my beans are almost ready for the hands on stage. I shall proceed with a little more confidence thanks to this video. Thank you again. May the Lord bless you all.

On a dairy farm they are fantastic for dividing the morning's fresh milk kept back for the family. I am almost 60 and now it is just the two of us, so these days I use them for dry canning(vacuum sealing) dried herbs mostly. Sometimes I use them for storing bulk food storage like sugar or salt, etc. They were great for canning broth too.

Not being outside and doing your regular videos on planting, growing, canning, caring for your animals and homestead...I just wondered if your videos could possibly continue to capture my attention...and heart. Never fear. You've done just that. I began subscribing during this past summer because I had been looking for a canning video on something or other. We've had a small vegetable garden here in the UP of Michigan...same home, same yard, same everything...for 50 years now. The first video I watched by you two just really made me want more. I still have some catching up to do! I figured I'd be doing that during these cold, snowy months because you'd be slowing down on making them. Well...why would I ever think that?? You still have my attention...and certainly my heart. I love all that you share with us. Now I really NEED to can some of those beans...and even though I don't have animals...I enjoy what you share with us. Please know that you have a dedicated group of "followers" here that truly care about your family and it encourages us to try new things and on some days...just simply to keep going! You spark my enthusiasm and I wanted you to know that. I'm almost 74 years old...and it takes more to spark anything these days. Lol. Next month I will be teaching a group of ladies at my church (we call these gatherings the "Salt Sisters") some tricks of the trade when it comes to sewing. Then, the following month...more tips and tricks on using the Instant Pot. After that...they are eager to learn more about canning and preserving foods. So...it's the OLD teaching the young! Thanks again for teaching me, dear sweet people. I just want to encourage you the way you encourage me! May God continue to bless your precious family.

    Quick method I was taught from my mother and watched my grandmother was to check beans for rocks and dirt. Rinse, pour off, then raise to make sure there clean, now here’s the kicker. They always used hot water at the start, then bring the beans to a boil, letting them boil for approximately 15 mins. Turn the stove off and let the beans set with top on for about 45 mins. By that time the beans should be all puffed up. Pour the water out and add clean hot water, two to three inches above beans. Cook until beans are soft or skin starts to break be sure to check your beans and add hot water as needed. Also, seasoning should be added about half way. You could at this time add ham,bacon, or pork leftovers. We never used clean hot water before canning using only liquid from the cooked beans. Of course we always left some out with cornbread and a raw onion 😉👍

    New subscriber here! We buy everything possible in bulk too. Especially since we are off grid and don't run to the store whenever we're low on whatever. Our town runs are for restocking the pantry and bringing home a full load. Takes some planning but, definitely worth it. You are also absolutely correct, buying in bulk saves $$$ and it also saves on the amount of trash that would just fill up the landfills more and more. I am also an avid canner and can everything from potatoes, veggies to all types of meat, fish, salsa and oh my, I guess I could go on and on... *grin* One thing that I haven't been canning is actually beans! I've just kept them in my dry storage pantry in Mylar bags and opened up a bag whenever my container of dry beans is empty. Have put them in water baths the day before I'll be cooking with them and not even thought about canning them, which is kind of stupid of me since I do can potatoes, so that making dinner does go faster, when you have so many other chores that need to be done. Can you say DUH?? So, thank you and now you know what I'll be doing the next week or so. LOL

Grow'em, let'em all dry on the vine, harvest and shell (shelling was really easy). I'd have grown them years ago if I'd known! Definitely going in the garden again this year and will be doing kidney beans as well... and maybe some navy's too!

    I used to can pinto beans. I got a book from the library on beans. The introduction said...soak your beans...drain and freeze. It changes the molecular of the beans so that there is very little gas produced after you eat them. We call it Back talk.

    I grew up in a farming family. Honestly we were probably poor but we ate well. One thing I still enjoy is beans on bread. My grandparents also raised hogs so we had good bacon. And bacon grease.
    Take a quart of canned pinto beans with the juice and add a dollop of bacon grease and a bit of salt and pepper. Cook them down until you have almost a thick gravy. Add water if needed as they are cooking. Serve this just on a thick slice of fresh bread. The gravy soaks into the bread. Eat it with a big slice of a fresh peeled tomato. My grandpa always put his tomato under the beans.
    If you've never had it. It is worth trying.

    I recently collected some old canning books off of Ebay. My oldest is a 1930 Ball canning book. I feel like the books put me in touch with some of my early ancestors. They have some great recipes and teach things that are now forgotten by many. As each generation passes there is something lost and not carried forward as people get away and forget their roots. These books can let various families know how to can anything from squirrel, kidney, tongue, brain, etc. It's great for families that want to restart canning of these items for their family. I bought them to research canning using half gallon jars. I know that today it isn't accepted with the new books but the Amish still do and I see large cans of various foods canned in the supermarket. The new books try to overshoot in canning technique to compensate for those with poor clean technique during the canning process, as evidenced by some of the product after using their new method. I ran into this and my mother confronted me (81 yo and still canning). I still recommend being very cautious, if going outside the newer recommended way of canning. I typically look for RUclips videos where multiple families have done something or generational have done it without problems. Paying attention to detail is very important in canning.

He even helped with all that work.

    When I can beans I put 1/2 cup of looked dry beans in a pint jar, or 1 cup of looked dry beans in a quart jar. Add my salt to taste (usually 1/2 tsp. in pint and 1 tsp. in quart), fill with water, and pressure can 75 minutes for pints or 90 minutes for quarts. I also do chili beans using 1/3 cup each pinto, black, and kidney beans in a quart jar with 1 tsp. salt and 1 Tb. chili powder, fill with water to the proper head space and pressure can for 90 minutes. This is a perfect amount of chili beans for a pot of chili for my husband and myself.

    I haven't canned in several years, but I always enjoyed it so much. Never did can pinto or any of the dried varieties but always canned about 150 qts of half-runner green beans. I'll tell you a delicious meal to use your black beans: Black Beans and Rice Salad: Cook enough rice for # people eating. While rice is cooking, heat up a can of black beans, add about 1/4 tsp cumin and 1/4 tsp chili powder. I add about 1 Tbsp of olive oil for flavor. Let them simmer. Then on everyone's plate, I cut up a serving of salad; lettuce, diced bell pepper, diced onion, and diced fresh tomatoes. I arrange the lettuce mixture in a ring around the plates (for looks). Have some sour cream, shredded cheddar, and salsa so everyone can dress their own toppings. When rice is ready, put a serving size helping of rice in the center of each plate's lettuce ring, and top rice with a serving of black beans. Each person can add their topping of sour cream, cheddar cheese, and salsa. It makes a beautiful plate doing it with the lettuce ring, and it's SO delicious all mixed together to eat! Start to finish is about 20 minutes to prepare, or however long you cook the rice, if you chop up the veggies while the rice is cooking. And it's so filling too as well as healthy. When I saw you canning black beans, it made me crave this black beans and rice salad so I may have to fix some one night this week! I always buy the store bought can of black beans and one 14.5 oz can is enough for two people (maybe three people but we like a lot of beans).

    That is a great time saver for someone who eats beans moderately and has the storage space. I thought about doing this myself until I found a solution for me. We eat mexican daily and would go through a minimum of three jars a week. It would take over my kitchen storage. I found you can pressure cook dry beans in 90 minutes and store them in the fridge as you use them through the week before making a fresh batch. A small batch of black beans would be a good idea for us though.
