Ham & Bean Soup with Leftover Easter Ham // Pressure Canning // Jeni Gough

[@RelanHelpenstill]

I love your recipes Jen.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Thanks! Glad you like them!

[@sushicourier]

Pur jars are great! If you live in areas where the store Big Lots is located they have them SO CHEAP! Currently a case (dozen) of regular or wide-mouth pints are $8.99 and a case of regular or wide-mouth quarts is only $12.99. That's less than anywhere I know at the moment. They also have boxes or a dozen lids for $2.99 (regular or wide-mouth). Stock up if you've got the space!

[@karennelan8984]

Thank you. Loved it. I very much appreciate the printable recipe 🎉

[@Jeni_Gough]

You are so welcome! 😊

Better than bullion has a ham broth that’s really good that’s goes great with this recipe. It’s a little hard to find but worth it. 💕✌️🌱

[@RiceaRoni354]

I ordered some for my preps. Going to try it with white beans this week.

[@danniemcdonald7675]

I also found Goya powdered ham bouillon at Walmart In the Hispanic section. Box of 8 for $1.xx

[@sushicourier]

@@danniemcdonald7675 Goya Tomato Bouillon is also good for bean soup... and lots of other things. That and tomato skin powder. 😍 🍅

[@danniemcdonald7675]

@sushicourier Thanks! I'll look for it.

[@daughteroftheking6889]

Yes, I think of the USDA complete guide to home canning as my " canning bible". I love bean and ham soup.

[@ladivamp]

I love that pot!!! 😍😍

[@Jeni_Gough]

Thanks! It a Kirkland set from Costco

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jeni! Yum, one of my favorite canned soups. Delicious on a rainy or cold day. I like thyme and I chop up real fine some spinach or sometimes a mixed green leafy vegetable, it’s good for you and adds another color to the jar. Sometimes I use green onion stalks for the green, I like onion with my pot of beans or certain soups. Have a blessed night!!

[@tmd7859]

Love ham and bean soup! Was getting tired of the same old recipe and found a recipe for southern ham and beans, adapted it for canning. I love adding creme of onion to bean soup takes it to a whole new level. Now I don't have to buy the canned stuff since you taught us how to make cream of anything soup.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Wonderful! 😊

Nothing like ham & beans! I don't add much carrots as it makes the broth too sweet. I will try adding 1/2 a bay leaf the next time I can H&B soup. Thank you for sharing your version ~ Kate

I use the dissolvable canning stickers to label my buckets. If it doesn't peel right off with no residue, a hot wet rag will normally take the rest of the goo right off.

[@dianeabbott1082]

Use for canning ham and beans

[@tiffipps5202]

I’m wondering if you can use ham stock instead of water. When I cook big bone in hams I always add quite a bit of water so when I’m done and it’s cooled off I put it in the fridge. Then once it’s cold I take all the fat grease top off and discard and I have a jellyish liquid left and I freeze it till I’m ready to use it.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Absolutely! 😊

Perfect thank you !!!

Thanks for sharing.. love bean and ham soup but I have yet to try soaking beans. Can I start them out in an instant pot then pressure can them or will they get mushy? Thanks for all the sharing you do. It’s so helpful for a new canner.

[@Jeni_Gough]

You are so welcome! Just do a quick soak, the IP will make them disintegrate. 😊

[@shellic7872]

I canned 4 quarts of ham and bean soup yesterday. My husband brought in a leftover bone in ham from the shop freezer. After removing all the ham, I simmered the bone for my broth.

[@ericawaymaster2919]

Thank u Jen. I sa u on utube saying u were having surgery. We prayed 🙏 for you. Today Sept 22, 2022. Are you OK? Does bay leafs get old? I had mine in quart jars 3 yrs. They turned from olive green to now brown.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yes, bay leaves get to old, they won’t have good flavor at 3 years old. I had brain surgery in July. I’m good! Surgery went well. 😊

@@Jeni_Gough Thank you Jen for your response, I appreciate. Glad your surgery 🙏 was a success. Bless your surgeon and hospital staff. God is good.

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

Hi, quick question for you. Any reason why for the liquid you couldn't use some of the liquid from when the ham was boiled?

[@Jeni_Gough]

You can of you like, I prefer to use fresh water. It's just a matter of preference, that is all!

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

@@Jeni_Gough Ok... Well I made and canned the soup yesterday. And I did use some not all, water from the ham juice as it wasn't that heavy in salt. And as it goes, one jar for some reason siphoned and it did not seal So it was my lunch today with some homemade bread. And the soup was to die for and the homemade bread wasn't too shabby either lol I love your channel.

[@Jeni_Gough]

@@caroljeanscholl7370 wonderful!

Get a chopper,, you need it. Honestly you can chop up everything the night before. Save yourself so much time. You need to rest. Love your channel ❤️ You make it look easy.

[@Jeni_Gough]

I have several choppers.

[@Kricket2020]

What kind of chopper do you use? A processor or a hand type?

[@sharonmckee2403]

I made this a while back… it is a favorite of my husband’s! So… I’m going to make it again . QUESTION: is it okay to use fresh (uncured) ham?

[@Jeni_Gough]

Absolutely!

[@joannabeckett9149]

I know this is a silly question, I have a huge batch that I made in my crockpots. Can I can it fully cooked? I also have 1/2 gallon jars and would like to can some in those how would I figure time?

[@Jeni_Gough]

You can but it will be complete mush after canning, I would freeze it if it were mine.

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺Write on a piece of paper what is inside that container and tape to the outside. That way it’s easy to change and you could also put the date the item was added.

[@Jeni_Gough]

absolutely! 😊

[@sheliaheverin8822]

I just noticed the last shot of the jars, the jar in the middle had it's lid cocked sideways.

[@Jeni_Gough]

Rings losen up during the canning process, its normal! The lid itself is fine and they all sealed.

[@sheliaheverin8822]

@@Jeni_Gough, gotcha. It looked from my angle that it wasn't screwed on right. I had one come completely off once. Thank you.

[@loritrotter6354]

Thanks, Jeni! Looks yummy! You mentioned that you've experienced more syphoning when you use regular mouth jars...I wonder why??? Do you have any idea? I just bought a bunch of jars and I bought all regular mouth because the lids are cheaper. Maybe that was a mistake! 🤔🤔

[@Jeni_Gough]

I’m not sure. I wondered if its my altitude. It never happens with wide mouth.

[@rebelcolorist]

I'm just wondering if you parboil your beans for at least 10 min before you jar them up for soup, if that issue with siphoning in regular mouth jars would not occur. Loving your channel 😍

[@Jeni_Gough]

@@rebelcolorist thanks! I soaked them, but I still get that with everything I can in small mouth, not just beans. 😊

QUESTION PLEASE. I am new to canning and have these going in the canner now. I am reading Bout adding thyme to canning and I think I did it wrong? I didn't cut leaves off stem. Will it be safe to eat?

[@Jeni_Gough]

I throw the whole stem in all the time! It’s safe! I just remove the stem after I open the jar, all the leaves will stay in your food. 😊

[@sheilabeasley4911]

Is the electric kettle at Amazon?

[@Jeni_Gough]

Yes 😊

[@avnhealth]

Hi Jeni - quick question. I just made this - smells divine! But the instructions said to process quarts for 75 minutes and now, I'm seeing other sites saying 90 minutes. Is this one different than the other ham and bean soups? Just want to make sure because I'm a new canner and don't want to end up with yucky food! LOL Thanks

[@Jeni_Gough]

Pints with meat are always 75 minutes, quarts are 90 minutes. This is no different, I am going by the USDA guidlines.

[@ForgetU]

I'm a chopper too.

[@iwuvmybigfamily]

Hey Jeni, I'm wanting to can chili beans, what kind of bean would I use? Thanks

[@kimriddell6157]

@@Jeni_Gough thank you.

[@dianatennant4346]

I flavor my ham and bean soup very little the ham pretty much flavors it salt and pepper and I like raw onion on it after occasionally some ketchup of all things. I was wondering if I left the vegetables out of this if it would still be fine with just the ham and beans if I stuck with half a jar of stuff and half a jar of liquid I think so according to the directions

[@Jeni_Gough]

You can leave the veg out.

[@nicidevine6670]

Our ham was salty but I think I can make it

[@Noniofseven]

Jen - thanks for sharing this! I love your technique… one question. You made for the video 7 quarts. - and that’s what the recipe says. But you had leftover ham and beans…. For another 7 quarts. So is the two pounds of beans for 7 quarts or 14? And 2 cups of ham for one batch or two? Just want to get this right. Thanks again!!

[@Jeni_Gough]

I cut the recipe back to fit 7 quarts, as I mentioned I would. The written recipe is correct. 😊 In my vid, I had 4 lbs of beans so I could do more.

[@Noniofseven]
