Project #3 - Pinto Beans!
This week, with a lot of time on our hands... Meredith and I have strayed from working just on Tuesday. We had a blast learning how to can pinto beans, it was so easy, I can't figure out why we haven't done it before.
We forgot to take step by step pictures but here are the basics:1. Put 2/3 cup of dry beans in pint jar
2. Add 1/2 tsp. of salt
3. Fill with water leaving 1 inch of head space
4. Seal lids and place into pressure canner
5. Process for 75 minutes at 15 pounds of pressure
6. Voila! Your beans are ready to use in soups, salads, as a side, or refried!

I love how you guys put your step by step instructions... and I think it's a great idea... but I am TERRIFIED of pressure cooking. Any advice?
I add 1 whole jalapeno (seeded of course) to the bottom of my jar before canning for beans that are a bit spicier. My husband, the burrito man, won't eat store bought bean anymore! And if anyone ever mentions refried beans, he always says "you've got to try my wife's bean!"
You can't beat beans for their cheapness and the fact that they are good for you, too!
