I am reporting on my successful "Baked Bean" canning experiment. I cooked the dry Navy beans from scratch and followed a friend's receipe for making baked beans. Upon completion I filled my jars and pressure canned 4 pints (small experimental batch). I was pleased to see that when the jars had cooled the beans were thick enough that when the jars were turned upside down the beans did not readily flow but rather made a slow flow towards the new bottom. So now I have fast and ready Baked Beans for anytime I want to pop the lid. I'll try to upload a picture later in the week,

I'm canning Baked Beans this weekend. The thick & sweet molassas kind are what I am after. The Baked Beans you buy at the store are way to soupy for my taste. I'm tired of taking the time (lots of it) to make them from scratch so I've decided to make some fast food (canned and ready) to add to my pantry. I plan to use a recepe from a friend, whose beans are alway great, and cook it to completion. Then I'll fill my jars and pressure can them.

I threw some hard-boiled eggs into the leftover pickled beet brine and ended up with a very pretty technicolor arugula salad.
