Directions

1. Cover beans with cold water and soak 12-18 hours. (As many beans as you want to can, remembering they will double in size as they absorb the water :)
2. Rinse, and boil on stove for 30 minutes.
3. Pack hot into jars with 1 inch headspace.
4. Add salt if desired (1/2 tsp for pints, 1 tsp. for quart jars)
5. Cover with boiling water, leaving 1 inch headspace.
6. Slide knife through jar to remove bubbles.
7. Seal jars with sterilized rings and lids.
8. Process jars at 10 lbs. pressure

Pints = 1 hr. 15 minutes, Qts = 1 hr. 30 minutes
