Wish I lived nearer....I am in London UK. We don't pressure can here. We use hot sterile jars and screw lids. Very interesting to see the US method. Love these videos. More preserving recipes please. I want to learn more about traditional American recipes.
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.
U must be living a really healthy lifestyle. ive heard that canning ur own food is better than buying the ones in grocry because they add so many preservatives in their products
My Grandmother always poured her beans on the Kitchen table... we sat at the table and "Picked the Beans" section by section ..found lots of rocks this way and made quick work of beans picking and some great conversations and laughs .. Miss her so much
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.
God has given Sarah and Kevin a special gift. They both find joy in the work they do. I've watched hundreds of homesteading videos from dozens of channels. They all provide useful content and share a great deal of knowledge; but Kevin and Sarah exude a special joy in their videos. I'm grateful for the work they do and the obvious joy of homesteading they have and share with us.
Thank you for sharing this video. I was a stay at home homesteader and wife but with recent economic situation I had to go back to work. So I was trying to figure out how to do beans and make them more convenient for cooking after work. Your videos are so informative and easy for me to follow. I do your bread and english muffins weekly. So great.
I have done this many times, and an added benefit to it, is you dont have to do it in the summer. You can wait and do it in the winter, when it's cold, and you are heating your house anyway.
Another benefit is that you’re not storing empty jars in the winter... as you empty your jars, can some beans... and/or can some water... it’s great to have some canned water for emergencies...
This info came from many years of canning beans. Hope it helps. Enough to fill Canner = 3 lb. 12 oz. dried re-hydrates to 7 quarts or 5 lbs. 6 oz. for 20 regular pints or 3 lbs. 4 oz. for 8 jars @ 24 ounces each
@@billeubanks8481 I can beans like Sarah does in this video. The soak methods, quick soak and overnight, are the only approved methods for canning beans. To check it out, see the Ball Blue Book or National Center for Home Food Preservation website.
One of my favorite things that gives me satisfaction is when I line my completed jars out of the canner and put them in my cupboards. Hard work but simple pleasures. Thank you for showing us. Looks great.
I've had a new canner (still in the box) for 4 years now. I've always been afraid to use it but you have given me courage!! I've planted green beans, corn and potatoes this year and i DON'T want to waste them. So look out y'all, I'm going to use the canner this year. Lol, biting my nails, lol.
I've bought them at auctions. Had a major score at one. I got crates of fifteen to twenty quart jars for two dollars each. I ended up with a mounded pickup load. With what I already had I was at 2500 jars. About 100 half gallon 400 pints the rest were quarts.
Excellent. At first I though you were saying 2 bucks a jar, then read your comment again, lol. Even if some fail (assuming they're used) you've still won this game. Also, half gallon jars are great and the best deal I've seen is around $2 a jar. Hats off.
@@IMOO1896 Good morning! hope it is ok to help out here, but growing up they were quite useful for larger families and canning bigger amounts. 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.
Sarah - I, too, love to have canning jars in boxes with writing from generations past. It is comforting and as you said, someone saw the value of canning food for their family. Love & appreciate your homestead & videos. God bless you & your family. ♥️
As I watched you putting your beans in the large pot, I kept saying out loud..."Sarah stop....Sarah that is too much....stop oh no she dumped in the remaining as well". I tuned in to this video because my Pressure Canner is arriving early on the weekend and I want to do some beans. I seriously enjoy watching farm life, though I do not have the physical stamina like ya'll have. Preserving foods is one of my greatest joys....so rewarding. The sound of popping jars is so so so satisfying.
I admire your dedication to the traditional and approved way of canning beans. I’m a rebel and use the no soak method (learned here on UA-cam) with great success. Beans, meat, and stock are my favorite canning projects during the cold months. Love those old jars!💕
I don't soak either, I just put dried beans into a jar and top with water, then pressure can. I've had great success for years doing my beans this way.
I love the no soak method! I feel like my beans are perfect this way and when reheating or making soups and such they don't cook too much and get mushy.
2 pounds pinto beans, one chopped onion, 2 jalapeno, 1/2 pound chopped bacon, 3 tbsp salt, 2 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp each of chili powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, turmeric, and 1/4 tbsp of cayenne pepper in a crock pot on high for 12 hours. You can then pressure can them in pints to make them shelf stable. Blend a jar and reheat for bean dip or refried beans. Fantastic!
Hi Sarah! I just want to say thank you for everything you do. I am so impressed with how you take care of your family. I can only hope that we will gradually manage to implement several of your practices. Such a beautiful Christian heart. You make me want to be a better homesteader. Thanks again for leading the way for us to get back to where we need to be with our food and our families! You are definitely an inspiration! Love you, Sarah!
You know, I have to say...I wondered what videos you would be making during the cold winter months. 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.
For those who don't have pressure canners, cooked beans freeze well. I make my beans in my instapot. (No soaking or pre-cooking) Most beans take less than 30 min. Let them cool and freeze. I make refried beans in my crockpot and freeze as well. I love your videos.
Yes, I have made pintos and navy beans so far in my pressure cooker...they do freeze great! However...I also want to can in the event we lose power, which is possible where we live...the canned foods will survive longer.
Yep me too, when I make beans for something I always make some extra and freeze them, works great. I have even switched to putting all my freezer things in glass freezer safe canning jars.... LOVE IT! I use my wide mouth qt. and wide mouth pint for pretty much everything, even leftovers in the fridge, no more using plastic and looking for lids...there is always an abundance of used canning lids and bands.
I don't know how you guys get all your chores done, you do so much......but Boy o boy.....you guys really live life really good....... Love you guys....❤❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE home canned beans! I agree they are a time saver and do save you money. I think they taste so much better, I can taste the metal from the store bought canned beans. Home canned beans taste so much “cleaner” to me. It is very much worth my time to home can foods!
Ha ha ha....oh that brings back memories. I was cooking beans for a barn dance we were having and I started cooking them....well ha ha I had to split the beans as well, into every stinking pot I had in the house. Those are the things that make live so fun. maybe not at the time, but looking back and laughing about it. Love you guys
Thank you Sarah so much I love watching your canning vids. I always wanted to learn but never had the interest until after my mom passed away she tried to teach me as far back as I can remember. Now all I have is my sisters, which is bout a joke! Always gotta criticize never want to be serious and help me. Ok blah blah sorry for spilling family trash on you but I just want to thank you both for all the teaching you do on the homestead it's greatly appreciated and I do listen. I come to your videos everytime I wanna learn something. Learning your "raising rabbits" now so thank you so much.
A quick hint: I learned through experience, that one pound of dry beans, will fill two quart canning jars after they have been soaked. (Corrected post)
Extremely informative. I grew up a few miles north of you as one of five children and my mom and grandma canned everything in sight. I am going to restart this money saving tradition and ditch the metal can from the store.
Wow I haven't seen a box like that in so long. I used to help my mom can tomatoes and also green beans. Some of our tomatoes we're canned with peppers for hot sauce she would blend up for taco night. Anyway we had those same boxes. We did water bath and then dad got her a pressure canner. He even helped with all that work. Lol I remember that a lot of times we went a picked the tomatoes that we bought but we also got a lower price cause we helped pick for the preachers farmers market trips at the same time. Oh the memories. Bless you and your family
Good Evening from Cajun Country!! Wow! You read my mind, I just done a huge batch of pintos and red beans, got 28 quarts in all, whew, long day, lol So great to see I am not the only one busy with the canner this winter, :) I hope you have a great night and sleep well :) Oh, btw, I love your new hair do, Sara, it looks great, :)
My brother in law brought me 12 presto mason reusable canning glass lids and I didnt know what they were until the shortage and I seen a video ,I'm a total jar junky and I got so excited when I found out what they where. My brother in law passed away a year ago ,so when I use these this year ,I will have him in my heart .you will forever be missed Johnny Tomlinson. Ps glad to see that you also understand the stories just behind a jar and its lids . God bless
I just watched this for the second time. I definitely want to can my own dry beans now. Thank you SO much for allowing us to walk through your life on your homestead with you! 🙏❤️
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
Well, Sarah, I had an epiphany today while watching your bean canning...I wondered why I'm buying beans 10 cans at a time, cause we eat a lot of beans...I'll be canning beans in the next couple weeks😊 Tks! And God Bless!
My husband and I actually had the special opportunity to go to the estate sale of the SON of the PARENTS whose home we purchased!! He had taken some of his mothers canning jars back to his house. Well.....we bid on and won his mothers jars and brought them back to her house!😊😊😊 We are using them and keeping the boxes because they have Jeri's handwriting on the boxes. They are part of the history of the house. It goes all the way back to President Martin Van Buren.
Thank you for the kick in the pants I needed. I have my canning pots and small pressure cooker in the pantry. I live alone so I needed an excuse to get busy on this. Btw I have a huge jar of dry beans in the pantry too. Thanks again.
Terri Prada I work at night and I am rarely home long enough in the daytime for this dedication...I need to make time for it because I have tons of stuff that I could be canning!
I love watching your canning videos! I have learned so much from you . 🤗 I learned how to can my beans dry- it saves so much time and work! Rinse them and put half a cup dry beans in each pint jar- add seasoning if you want. Fill with boiling water -and pressure can. They cook in the jars and turn out super buttery and creamy!
I recently tried this and then used a couple of the jars to make chili. Ended up with the worst heartburn ever. Only difference in my chili making was how I canned my beans. Next time I'm soaking and cooking them before canning!
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.
All the years growing up canning, we never canned dry beans. I didnt even realize you could! LOL! Great vid and info. Extremely grateful for the enightenment!
i love your guys videos!!!!my son wants to make his own money for vacation so last year we grew tomato plants an sold them and he sold out in 1 hour... we grew 500 plants... this year we tripled the amount of plants we growing.... we learned alot from you guys... thank so much
I grew just a few plants of pinto beans last year for fun and was amazed at the yield. Got a full pound of beans. 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!
Sarah , I love watching you place your canned goods on the shelf . I know what a good feeling it is to can for my family . I have done a lot of it in my life . I still do , but only for my self now . My husband passed away three years ago . We were married for fifty five years . I can only for convenience now . Love watching you and Kevin. So as you always say , take care and God bless .
My Mother instilled in me a love of good food I became a Chef in 1992. Almost never eat processed food except for home canned. No Added Salt Lower Glycemic intake I use Mrs Dash type seasoning. Last nights supper was Skirt Steak Home made marinade of 1/4 cup Raspberries, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/8 cup Worcestershire, 1/8 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup Splenda(husband is Diabetic), 1/2 cap-full Mrs Dash, trimmed Skirt Steak big Freezer bag marinate all day Or Crock Pot 6 hours on high. Can also be done with any other berries or 2 oranges cut up and squeezed into bag.
I'd change erythritol/ monkfruit/stevia blend w the Splenda for better health. And coconut aminos for soy, unless the soy is non gmo and naturally fermented.
I remember making and canning jams and jellies with my Granny. Again it is something that I want to teach my granddaughter. I feel it is really important that she knows these things.
It's so encouraging to me to see you process such large volume in a standard kitchen! My kitchen is almost exactly like yours, not a ton of counter space and a standard 4 burner residential stove. I have a presto canner like yours. We are at 6000 feet elevation, so our processing times are extended, like yours are. Really enjoying your channel, and learning things! Thank you!
I like that you still have a useful container to reuse by doing it this way ordering in bulk. I always buy bags which just cause extra waste. I think I’m sold!
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.
Frances Beck I love that you called them “looked” beans! I grew up in Texas and my mom taught us to “look” the beans before rinsing them to cook. Brought back memories!
Maybe my brain is not picking up on this but is the 1/3 cup of each bean dried when you put them in the jars or do you do the quick cook type of method before canning them?
I literally just did this same thing last week for the first time. I have already used some and I LOVE it. I also did a few cans in ham broth. Yummy and preseasoned right out of the jar!
This makes me lonesome for my dear Mom! She was an awesome canner when it wasn't popular to live off the land. I think it's great to grow your own food and preserve it. Nothing tastes better than eating homegrown food year around. Thank you for bringing back a lost art, Sarah! It's very rewarding work! God bless❤️
Subscribed. Thank you for reminding that people still "can". Those were the days my friend. Still miss my grandmother's delicious canned goods. Used to can and make jam, jelly etc. We raised our own chickens and live stock. It was really satisfying. Proud of you.
Hello there !!! I absolutely love and feel so satisfied when after taking the jars out of the pressure cooker the end results ❤ The popping of the seals always makes me giggle and smile 😍❤!
I've been wanting to learn how to can for a while now and this came at the perfect time. What a great tutorial! I feel this will give me the confidence to successfully get me going! I will have to look through the playlists you have and see what others you might have. I want to do jams, jellys and vegetables. Tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, etc. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! I've been dubbed for quite a while but I rarely comment. I'll try and do that more to show my appreciation. Take care.
You seemed to be filled with such did-it-myself beaming pride that you had the sweetest little smile when talking about your canning “station.” Such a darling 🥰
I like your idea of appreciating where the jars came from and previous owners. It’s nice to have a link with the past and the people who have gone before.
I was told to always remove the rings. Just leave the flat lid. I was told the reason is, if the seal allows contamination you wont see it and if the ring is not on, you will see fuzziness. You dont want to eat something that will sicken or kill you. I was also told never to stack one on top of the other because it will interfere in the proper seal. Just Sharing 😊
The rings are removed so that you don’t get a false seal. Once they are sealed they can be stacked with a flat surface between. Don’t know that I would stack more than 2 high.
@@maryarmstrong9656 I'm confused. I always look at the lid and make sure it's depressed like it should be. You can push on it and if it doesn't move, it's sealed. Am I missing something?
You answered one of my prayers! I was going to be searching how to cook beans, and you beat me to my search! Thank you thank you thank you!!! You guys are the best!!! 🙏🏻
I have canned most of my married life and my aunt has canned my whole life. I have never tried dried beans. (Although I have never bought canned beans either). Looks like it would save me a tremendous amount of time to do so.
Thank you! Typinig while you narrate and making a canning book for my 9 year old daughter. She helps with all the canning now but want her to have a printed copy for years down the road.
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 😉👍
RV Chef raw onion 😱🙈😂🥰 we cooked the mess outta some onions and celery with poultry seasoning and regular salt, pepper and garlic powder in butter and then spread the goodies over some fresh baked buns or bread loaf! Now I need some tender navy beans and ham! 😋
How do you keep your rice from getting bugs? We had bought large bags of rice and then we noticed it was full of bugs. Also, if you put one quarter cup of dried beans in a pint jar then add water to fill, put in pressure canner for 60 min and you can cook the beans in the jar. Very simple. A lot less time.
@@donnakeeley7924 I am sorry, but there's something I don't understand...if you freeze the bugs and they die, how do you take the bugs out? One by one or are you saying we eat them too?
@@helen4997 the bugs aren't there as fully formed when you buy the rice, they are eggs/itty bitty unhatched things. Freezing for a while (I freeze my rice, dry beans, flour, etc, for a week or two) helps to kill anything in the packages.
This is exactly the reason I bought all those beans in bulk. My daughter is a vegetarian and beans are a great protein source for her so I like to make them grab and go for her.
Hi Hello you are a blessing!!! We just canned 166 pounds of beans, popcorn, flour, green and yellow peas for pea soup all done in the oven dry canning for long life dry storage 25 - 35 YEARS can you imagaine we by beans by thousands of pounds to be able to help others Lord Bless you today..
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. I do need to find out where to bulk purchase them.
Thanks Sarah, for showing how to do beans. I've been canning meats, made jams. Cleaning out my freezer and canning and dehydrating. I've never canned beans but,now I can. Thanks so much for all you and Kevin do. I just LOVE your videos. Oh yea, looks like you need to go to flea mkts. And buy you some big pots. Lol. That's where I bought all my canning supplies. I bought a double decker Presto pressure canner last year for $20.00. I was so excited. Any, Thanks again, and God Bless You and Your Family!!😊
Today you taught me how to can beans. Last night your husband taught me how to make bread. I am heading to Target right now to buy yeast and dried beans. Thanks.
Do you get the beans in the buvk6ets? The plastic containers are usefull to store all sort of stuff and they have lots of uses. We take from pizzerias buckets for when we buy milk to make cheese, and to store wallnuts.
I like the no soak pressure can method. Just sort rinse add your seasoning if you want, canning salt and hot water to warm/hot jars and pressure can for 90min I believe. I love that method!
I love watching your canning videos. I used to can many moons ago. I now buy store-bought goods now that I'm older. But, watching you can beans really took me back. I wished I had saved my jars. I saved some though and I still have my canner. You never know, I might make a batch of beans this fall. You are so inspiring. I absolutely love pinto beans, and they are so versatile.
We order bulk products from Azure Standard. Here's a link to learn more: www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=566d73f0eb
I just made my first order from them! I pick it up in a couple of weeks.
I checked out Azure and I will definitly order from them. Thanks
I was checking Azure Standard and I didn't see options for 5 gallon buckets like you showed?
I was gonna ask!!!!
Wish I lived nearer....I am in London UK. We don't pressure can here. We use hot sterile jars and screw lids. Very interesting to see the US method. Love these videos. More preserving recipes please. I want to learn more about traditional American recipes.
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.

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.

"Becoming A Farm Girl" works full time, lives in a townhouse and has lots of really good canning and preserving videos.
I have done this many times, and an added benefit to it, is you dont have to do it in the summer. You can wait and do it in the winter, when it's cold, and you are heating your house anyway.
In the summer I do it on my wood stove which I keep outside.
Another benefit is that you’re not storing empty jars in the winter... as you empty your jars, can some beans... and/or can some water... it’s great to have some canned water for emergencies...
@@harrietsimmons3816 That's impressive, a pressure cooker on a wood stove.
@@kathkwilts Two good ideas.
Really. Wów
This info came from many years of canning beans. Hope it helps.
Enough to fill Canner = 3 lb. 12 oz. dried re-hydrates to 7 quarts
or 5 lbs. 6 oz. for 20 regular pints
or 3 lbs. 4 oz. for 8 jars @ 24 ounces each
Wow... appreciate this!! Are you using the dry canning method or soak method for your measurements? Thank you, again!
@@Christine-777 Your welcome. I only use the soak method. The jar measurements are after the beans have been soaked.
@@bevann8624 Is the soak method the best way to can dry beans? I watched a gal can the dry method the other day and now Im confused.
@@billeubanks8481 I can beans like Sarah does in this video. The soak methods, quick soak and overnight, are the only approved methods for canning beans. To check it out, see the Ball Blue Book or National Center for Home Food Preservation website.

One of my favorite things that gives me satisfaction is when I line my completed jars out of the canner and put them in my cupboards. Hard work but simple pleasures. Thank you for showing us. Looks great.
I've had a new canner (still in the box) for 4 years now. I've always been afraid to use it but you have given me courage!! I've planted green beans, corn and potatoes this year and i DON'T want to waste them. So look out y'all, I'm going to use the canner this year. Lol, biting my nails, lol.
How did it go??
@@jswhosoever4533 its still in the box
Hello please let me know how they came out.
@@teresacruz2132 I chickened out and didnt use the canner
@@vonsquirrel8378 oh you sisy la la, well when you do please let me know🤣🤣🤣
I've bought them at auctions. Had a major score at one. I got crates of fifteen to twenty quart jars for two dollars each. I ended up with a mounded pickup load. With what I already had I was at 2500 jars. About 100 half gallon 400 pints the rest were quarts.
Excellent. At first I though you were saying 2 bucks a jar, then read your comment again, lol. Even if some fail (assuming they're used) you've still won this game. Also, half gallon jars are great and the best deal I've seen is around $2 a jar. Hats off.
Wow! what a deal!
What do you use the 1/2 gallon jars for?
@@IMOO1896 Good morning! hope it is ok to help out here, but growing up they were quite useful for larger families and canning bigger amounts. 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.
Wow, so great for tou
I was waiting for the pop pop pop! That was always my favorite part.
Sarah - I, too, love to have canning jars in boxes with writing from generations past. It is comforting and as you said, someone saw the value of canning food for their family. Love & appreciate your homestead & videos. God bless you & your family. ♥️
As I watched you putting your beans in the large pot, I kept saying out loud..."Sarah stop....Sarah that is too much....stop oh no she dumped in the remaining as well".
I tuned in to this video because my Pressure Canner is arriving early on the weekend and I want to do some beans.
I seriously enjoy watching farm life, though I do not have the physical stamina like ya'll have. Preserving foods is one of my greatest joys....so rewarding. The sound of popping jars is so so so satisfying.
I admire your dedication to the traditional and approved way of canning beans. I’m a rebel and use the no soak method (learned here on UA-cam) with great success. Beans, meat, and stock are my favorite canning projects during the cold months. Love those old jars!💕
do you remember who it was?? i think starry did beans that way but cant remember.. blessings
Yes it was Starry, but others as well. More recently (this month) Sutton’s Daze and Kneady Homesteader.
I don't soak either, I just put dried beans into a jar and top with water, then pressure can. I've had great success for years doing my beans this way.
I don’t like the watered down taste of beans that soak first. Looking at canning some this year
I love the no soak method! I feel like my beans are perfect this way and when reheating or making soups and such they don't cook too much and get mushy.
2 pounds pinto beans, one chopped onion, 2 jalapeno, 1/2 pound chopped bacon, 3 tbsp salt, 2 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp each of chili powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, turmeric, and 1/4 tbsp of cayenne pepper in a crock pot on high for 12 hours. You can then pressure can them in pints to make them shelf stable. Blend a jar and reheat for bean dip or refried beans. Fantastic!
Sounds yummy! Thank you
Hi Sarah! I just want to say thank you for everything you do. I am so impressed with how you take care of your family. I can only hope that we will gradually manage to implement several of your practices. Such a beautiful Christian heart. You make me want to be a better homesteader. Thanks again for leading the way for us to get back to where we need to be with our food and our families! You are definitely an inspiration! Love you, Sarah!
You know, I have to say...I wondered what videos you would be making during the cold winter months. 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.
For those who don't have pressure canners, cooked beans freeze well. I make my beans in my instapot. (No soaking or pre-cooking) Most beans take less than 30 min. Let them cool and freeze. I make refried beans in my crockpot and freeze as well. I love your videos.
@Peggy Mundt Yes, I have been freezing them for years
Yes, I have made pintos and navy beans so far in my pressure cooker...they do freeze great! However...I also want to can in the event we lose power, which is possible where we live...the canned foods will survive longer.
Yep me too, when I make beans for something I always make some extra and freeze them, works great. I have even switched to putting all my freezer things in glass freezer safe canning jars.... LOVE IT! I use my wide mouth qt. and wide mouth pint for pretty much everything, even leftovers in the fridge, no more using plastic and looking for lids...there is always an abundance of used canning lids and bands.
Vivian are you freezing with regular canning jars? I’ve never heard of a freezer safe canning jar.
@@beccareul I freeze them in quart freezer bags
I don't know how you guys get all your chores done, you do so much......but Boy o boy.....you guys really live life really good....... Love you guys....❤❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE home canned beans! I agree they are a time saver and do save you money. I think they taste so much better, I can taste the metal from the store bought canned beans. Home canned beans taste so much “cleaner” to me. It is very much worth my time to home can foods!
Hello I am so please they are young canners like you ,I am 65 and I grew up watching my mom can,and I love it.and I really enjoyment you videos
Ha ha ha....oh that brings back memories. I was cooking beans for a barn dance we were having and I started cooking them....well ha ha I had to split the beans as well, into every stinking pot I had in the house. Those are the things that make live so fun. maybe not at the time, but looking back and laughing about it. Love you guys
I appreciate the respect of a mama souvenir..with the jar story...
Thank you Sarah so much I love watching your canning vids. I always wanted to learn but never had the interest until after my mom passed away she tried to teach me as far back as I can remember. Now all I have is my sisters, which is bout a joke! Always gotta criticize never want to be serious and help me. Ok blah blah sorry for spilling family trash on you but I just want to thank you both for all the teaching you do on the homestead it's greatly appreciated and I do listen. I come to your videos everytime I wanna learn something. Learning your "raising rabbits" now so thank you so much.
I just found your sight and I’ve caned a little but I love this. Thank you so much. This is a lost art.
Would like to see one of your jars opened to give us a close up of the finished product. Thanks for the great video.
Kudos To you Sarah,that is a lot of work and was so interesting to watch,makes me realise how hard my Granny worked back in the day.
A quick hint: I learned through experience, that one pound of dry beans, will fill two quart canning jars after they have been soaked. (Corrected post)
Good Hint Phllis! Thanks!
And then, what's your canning process time/pressure?
Thanks so much. I appreciate all your hard work and dedicatioin to your suscribers!
Extremely informative. I grew up a few miles north of you as one of five children and my mom and grandma canned everything in sight. I am going to restart this money saving tradition and ditch the metal can from the store.
Seeing all of those beautiful jars of canning, remind me of growing up on the farm and my mothers canning cupboards.
Wow I haven't seen a box like that in so long. I used to help my mom can tomatoes and also green beans. Some of our tomatoes we're canned with peppers for hot sauce she would blend up for taco night. Anyway we had those same boxes. We did water bath and then dad got her a pressure canner. He even helped with all that work. Lol I remember that a lot of times we went a picked the tomatoes that we bought but we also got a lower price cause we helped pick for the preachers farmers market trips at the same time. Oh the memories. Bless you and your family
I admire your ability to do all this canning.
Good Evening from Cajun Country!! Wow! You read my mind, I just done a huge batch of pintos and red beans, got 28 quarts in all, whew, long day, lol So great to see I am not the only one busy with the canner this winter, :) I hope you have a great night and sleep well :) Oh, btw, I love your new hair do, Sara, it looks great, :)
My brother in law brought me 12 presto mason reusable canning glass lids and I didnt know what they were until the shortage and I seen a video ,I'm a total jar junky and I got so excited when I found out what they where. My brother in law passed away a year ago ,so when I use these this year ,I will have him in my heart .you will forever be missed Johnny Tomlinson. Ps glad to see that you also understand the stories just behind a jar and its lids . God bless
I just watched this for the second time. I definitely want to can my own dry beans now. Thank you SO much for allowing us to walk through your life on your homestead with you! 🙏❤️
The method she is using is in the Ball Canning Book. Anna In Ohio
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
How funny I was canning pinto beans yesterday as well. Keep up the great work! Would love to see a pantry tour.
Love watching your videos,,nice to see a nice clean kitchen when your canning
Wow, so much work, well done! I freeze my cooked beans in smaller batches.
that was soothing watching you move those jars
Well, Sarah, I had an epiphany today while watching your bean canning...I wondered why I'm buying beans 10 cans at a time, cause we eat a lot of beans...I'll be canning beans in the next couple weeks😊 Tks! And God Bless!
My husband and I actually had the special opportunity to go to the estate sale of the SON of the PARENTS whose home we purchased!! He had taken some of his mothers canning jars back to his house. Well.....we bid on and won his mothers jars and brought them back to her house!😊😊😊 We are using them and keeping the boxes because they have Jeri's handwriting on the boxes. They are part of the history of the house. It goes all the way back to President Martin Van Buren.
Great Tip. What a Beautiful sight to see from all your hard work, which you make easy to do... Good Health to you all..
I enjoy your channel, sir! Thanks for all you do as well!
Very cool Sarah! God bless you girl! You too Kevin and girls!
Thank you for the kick in the pants I needed. I have my canning pots and small pressure cooker in the pantry. I live alone so I needed an excuse to get busy on this. Btw I have a huge jar of dry beans in the pantry too. Thanks again.
Terri Prada I work at night and I am rarely home long enough in the daytime for this dedication...I need to make time for it because I have tons of stuff that I could be canning!
Hey all those buckets you get you can sell any extras at your local farmers market being they are food grade 2.00 to 5.oo each
I love watching your canning videos! I have learned so much from you . 🤗
I learned how to can my beans dry- it saves so much time and work! Rinse them and put half a cup dry beans in each pint jar- add seasoning if you want. Fill with boiling water -and pressure can. They cook in the jars and turn out super buttery and creamy!
Micki A I’ll have to try this method as well!
I recently tried this and then used a couple of the jars to make chili. Ended up with the worst heartburn ever. Only difference in my chili making was how I canned my beans.
Next time I'm soaking and cooking them before canning!
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.
All the years growing up canning, we never canned dry beans. I didnt even realize you could! LOL! Great vid and info.
Extremely grateful for the enightenment!
i love your guys videos!!!!my son wants to make his own money for vacation so last year we grew tomato plants an sold them and he sold out in 1 hour... we grew 500 plants... this year we tripled the amount of plants we growing.... we learned alot from you guys... thank so much
I grew just a few plants of pinto beans last year for fun and was amazed at the yield. Got a full pound of beans. 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!
Sarah , I love watching you place your canned goods on the shelf . I know what a good feeling it is to can for my family . I have done a lot of it in my life . I still do , but only for my self now . My husband passed away three years ago . We were married for fifty five years . I can only for convenience now . Love watching you and Kevin. So as you always say , take care and God bless .
My Mother instilled in me a love of good food I became a Chef in 1992. Almost never eat processed food except for home canned. No Added Salt Lower Glycemic intake I use Mrs Dash type seasoning. Last nights supper was Skirt Steak Home made marinade of 1/4 cup Raspberries, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/8 cup Worcestershire, 1/8 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup Splenda(husband is Diabetic), 1/2 cap-full Mrs Dash, trimmed Skirt Steak big Freezer bag marinate all day Or Crock Pot 6 hours on high. Can also be done with any other berries or 2 oranges cut up and squeezed into bag.
Oh, that sounds delicious! Thank you!
I love Mrs. Dash seasoning on my cooked pastas and cooked/steamed veggies. Oh so good!
I'd change erythritol/ monkfruit/stevia blend w the Splenda for better health. And coconut aminos for soy, unless the soy is non gmo and naturally fermented.
I remember making and canning jams and jellies with my Granny. Again it is something that I want to teach my granddaughter. I feel it is really important that she knows these things.
It's so encouraging to me to see you process such large volume in a standard kitchen! My kitchen is almost exactly like yours, not a ton of counter space and a standard 4 burner residential stove. I have a presto canner like yours. We are at 6000 feet elevation, so our processing times are extended, like yours are. Really enjoying your channel, and learning things! Thank you!
I like that you still have a useful container to reuse by doing it this way ordering in bulk. I always buy bags which just cause extra waste. I think I’m sold!
Superb, you have your very own local shop with neatly stacked shelves on hand.
Always good to have "Skills" ...knowledge.. the right tools...and a solid "work ethic" !
Keep smiling !
I love having my home canned beans in the pantry❤️
Great job. I love your video, your organization, your voice and your teaching method.
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.
Frances Beck I love that you called them “looked” beans! I grew up in Texas and my mom taught us to “look” the beans before rinsing them to cook. Brought back memories!
I made your chili beans today. This is how I do all my dried beans, too.
Maybe my brain is not picking up on this but is the 1/3 cup of each bean dried when you put them in the jars or do you do the quick cook type of method before canning them?
Julie Wilson I think she’s saying these are dry, but rinsed beans. If you were soaking them first, you would need to put more in.
@@cynthiafisher9907 thank you!
I told you before,you are an excellent teacher.You're so patient and kind. Thanks again.
I literally just did this same thing last week for the first time. I have already used some and I LOVE it. I also did a few cans in ham broth. Yummy and preseasoned right out of the jar!
This makes me lonesome for my dear Mom! She was an awesome canner when it wasn't popular to live off the land. I think it's great to grow your own food and preserve it. Nothing tastes better than eating homegrown food year around. Thank you for bringing back a lost art, Sarah! It's very rewarding work! God bless❤️
This is a great step by step to canning. Anyone looking for how to. . This is great!
Keep up the good work. I know its a lot of work.
Subscribed. Thank you for reminding that people still "can".
Those were the days my friend. Still miss my grandmother's delicious canned goods. Used to can and make jam, jelly etc. We raised our own chickens and live stock. It was really satisfying. Proud of you.
Wonderful video Sarah, I love canning..
Hello there !!! I absolutely love and feel so satisfied when after taking the jars out of the pressure cooker the end results ❤ The popping of the seals always makes me giggle and smile 😍❤!
sonsie Hollingsworth 🤓🥰
I've been wanting to learn how to can for a while now and this came at the perfect time. What a great tutorial! I feel this will give me the confidence to successfully get me going! I will have to look through the playlists you have and see what others you might have. I want to do jams, jellys and vegetables. Tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, etc. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! I've been dubbed for quite a while but I rarely comment. I'll try and do that more to show my appreciation. Take care.
You seemed to be filled with such did-it-myself beaming pride that you had the sweetest little smile when talking about your canning “station.” Such a darling 🥰
Love how thoroughly you explain this. Many neglect to share the step of removing air bubbles.
I like your idea of appreciating where the jars came from and previous owners. It’s nice to have a link with the past and the people who have gone before.
I was told to always remove the rings. Just leave the flat lid. I was told the reason is, if the seal allows contamination you wont see it and if the ring is not on, you will see fuzziness. You dont want to eat something that will sicken or kill you. I was also told never to stack one on top of the other because it will interfere in the proper seal. Just Sharing 😊
giancolabird can you stack if there is cardboard in between?
@@DeeMc54 I've been told that you can, because the layer of cardboard distributes the weight on top.
The rings are removed so that you don’t get a false seal. Once they are sealed they can be stacked with a flat surface between. Don’t know that I would stack more than 2 high.
Does the canner pressure cooker seal them ? I’m not sure what it is for
@@maryarmstrong9656 I'm confused. I always look at the lid and make sure it's depressed like it should be. You can push on it and if it doesn't move, it's sealed. Am I missing something?
I'm from south of Louisiana and noticed your oven towel. It was nice to see.
You answered one of my prayers! I was going to be searching how to cook beans, and you beat me to my search! Thank you thank you thank you!!! You guys are the best!!! 🙏🏻
I did all canning 40 yrs. ago,looks like I'll have to do it again. can't let my grankids be hungry. GBY
I have canned most of my married life and my aunt has canned my whole life. I have never tried dried beans. (Although I have never bought canned beans either). Looks like it would save me a tremendous amount of time to do so.
Thank you! Typinig while you narrate and making a canning book for my 9 year old daughter. She helps with all the canning now but want her to have a printed copy for years down the road.
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 😉👍
RV Chef raw onion 😱🙈😂🥰 we cooked the mess outta some onions and celery with poultry seasoning and regular salt, pepper and garlic powder in butter and then spread the goodies over some fresh baked buns or bread loaf! Now I need some tender navy beans and ham! 😋
That cornbread comment was uncalled for: It's past lunchtime and I'm a low carber, lol.
Hahaa! Cute
Beans with cornbread and raw onion. Yum! One of my childhood favorite meals.
Can you clarify what you mean by add seasoning halfway up. Do you mean add half of beans season then add more beans then water? Thanks
Have been looking at your channel on rabbits, now found this what a great channel thank you.
I need to do this for my family again! I miss having those homemade convenience foods!
Thanks for the info and information on canning it is always need to be shared.
Yes I've been receiving allot jars that way and some are freebees last year 20-24 cases regular quart jars and some regular pints.
How do you keep your rice from getting bugs? We had bought large bags of rice and then we noticed it was full of bugs. Also, if you put one quarter cup of dried beans in a pint jar then add water to fill, put in pressure canner for 60 min and you can cook the beans in the jar. Very simple. A lot less time.
Freeze wheat, flour and just freeze for 24 hrs before I dry can them. The freezing kills the bugs.
@@donnakeeley7924 I am sorry, but there's something I don't understand...if you freeze the bugs and they die, how do you take the bugs out? One by one or are you saying we eat them too?
@@helen4997 the bugs aren't there as fully formed when you buy the rice, they are eggs/itty bitty unhatched things. Freezing for a while (I freeze my rice, dry beans, flour, etc, for a week or two) helps to kill anything in the packages.
You're awesome Sarah! Great video!
This is exactly the reason I bought all those beans in bulk. My daughter is a vegetarian and beans are a great protein source for her so I like to make them grab and go for her.
Hi Hello you are a blessing!!! We just canned 166 pounds of beans, popcorn, flour, green and yellow peas for pea soup all done in the oven dry canning for long life dry storage 25 - 35 YEARS can you imagaine we by beans by thousands of pounds to be able to help others Lord Bless you today..
Hi guys!! So much love for this channel! Love from New Zealand, you definitely have a fan here 💕💕
For homestead cooking this is where I come so I can dream of all the colorful cans of food I’ll be canning ❤️ love this channel.
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.
I do need to find out where to bulk purchase them.
Check out the restaurant supply stores..They typically carry beans, as well as other cooking needs, in bulk...
A very big thank you for this video for canning beans
Thanks Sarah, for showing how to do beans. I've been canning meats, made jams. Cleaning out my freezer and canning and dehydrating. I've never canned beans but,now I can. Thanks so much for all you and Kevin do. I just LOVE your videos. Oh yea, looks like you need to go to flea mkts. And buy you some big pots. Lol. That's where I bought all my canning supplies. I bought a double decker Presto pressure canner last year for $20.00. I was so excited. Any, Thanks again, and God Bless You and Your Family!!😊
Today you taught me how to can beans. Last night your husband taught me how to make bread. I am heading to Target right now to buy yeast and dried beans. Thanks.
Do you get the beans in the buvk6ets? The plastic containers are usefull to store all sort of stuff and they have lots of uses. We take from pizzerias buckets for when we buy milk to make cheese, and to store wallnuts.
We order bulk products from Azure Standard. Here's a link to learn more: www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=566d73f0eb
You are the best teacher!!! Thank you!!!! 🙌🏻🦋🙌🏻
I like the no soak pressure can method.
Just sort rinse add your seasoning if you want, canning salt and hot water to warm/hot jars and pressure can for 90min I believe.
I love that method!
I love watching your canning videos. I used to can many moons ago. I now buy store-bought goods now that I'm older. But, watching you can beans really took me back. I wished I had saved my jars. I saved some though and I still have my canner. You never know, I might make a batch of beans this fall. You are so inspiring. I absolutely love pinto beans, and they are so versatile.
