Home-Canned Baked Beans

Home-Canned Baked Beans
-7 cups pinto beans (1c./jar)
-1/2 cup ketchup
-1 Tablespoon brown sugar
-1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
-1 Tablespoon blackstrap molasses
-1 teaspoon salt
-1 tablespoon mustard
-warm water
Pressure can for 1hr. 35 min.
Check what pressure to use in your area. I use 10 pounds of pressure.
Heat the beans in a pot and let them boil for several minutes before serving. This makes them softer and the juice thicker.

This was the standard for all households until the beginning domination of the food supply starting with Supermarkets and the death of specialized food markets of quality. Box stores came next along with the monopolies of 5 food manufacturers who maximize profits by supplying low quality high cancer causing foods for the greatest profits regardless of the death and agony they create. This lady's practices are exactly contrary to the modern criminal food industry. If you wish your family to stay healthy, follow this good lady's actions.

Have you ever been in the fields where food processors reap the food? They only use the highest quality vegetables. As a teen, I helped my family pick leftover vegetables that were rejected as not appropriate for frozen corn. We froze a large upright freezer full of corn that was delicious from the rejects. We bought it all for one dollar.

I love this recipe. I’ve just found you because of this recipe so I hope there’s more canning videos to come. I am obsessed.

[@donnaholmes2496]

I enjoyed your video and can't wait to can these beans.

[@sherylh4780]

Video is well done. I can hear you well even over the washing machine. Household chores must still go on. Your directions were well done, also. You might not want to use anything metal to debubble. It can cause micro scratches on the inside of the jar and cause the jar to break easier. Anything wood (chopstick , etc) or plastic works well. Thank you for your directions.

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Good idea. Thank you!😊

[@janetrush8340]

I love baked beans, thank you for sharing. I can't wait to do this

[@1954evelyn]

I liked your video good instruction with out a lot of talking and no music. I do buy my catsup and mustard at Sam's club in the #10 cans or the plastic jug I think it is a gallon. I keep filling a bottle for the fridge and put the plastic jug in the outside fridge for cooking and canning. Oh and I used navy beans for my baked beans that si what we like.

[@tinagillis831]

Wow I thought this was great and easy ty

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

You’re welcome 😊

[@lindajones200]

I have a suggestion honey... cut the center part out if the ketchup bottle. It will come out much faster. You are using 1/2 cup so you do noy have to worry about overfilling measuring spoons. Hope it helps.i am 73 years old and canned for years. I may even get back into it on a much smaller amount. Loved your video. You have made one of the most important wats to feed yourself when you have not much food. This is healthy and filling. You may get tired of it but you will never starve.

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Thank you☺️

[@houndherder6982]

Your recipe says to pressure can the beans for 35 minutes. USDA and RuthAnn Zimmerman both tell you to pressure can beans in quarts for 90 minutes and pints for 75 minutes. Beans are a low acid food and require long pressure canning times. I have canned RuthAnn’s beans many times and do the same thing you do by adding a little molasses.

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

My recipe actually says 1hr and 35 minutes. I just double checked the description and it’s correct. You are right though, 35 minutes would be far too short a time!

[@houndherder6982]

@@PoplarSpringFarm Oh my goodness I can’t read. You are absolutely correct - it does say one hour and 35 minutes. I apologize. Yikes need to get new glasses. Just want everyone to be safe.

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Definitely better safe than sorry! ☺️

[@ketokhuleesi4451]

Great job, thank you. 😊

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Thank you🙂

[@theresasteffen6419]

Enjoyed the video. Good job. You can get ketchup on #10 cans. Might be easier than all those little bottles. When my kids were home I used to buy 2 cases of #10 cans of ketchup and can them up in pint jars. I couldn't seem to find a recipe my kids liked for ketchup.

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Wow, that’s big cans of ketchup! Not sure if I could find that here. Our town is small, but I can see if Walmart has organic ketchup in big cans. So far, organic Aldi ketchup has been the best price. I make a lot of stuff, but ketchup I buy.

[@Lady-bug-9000]

Going try it. I've been cautious of doing beans. I've canned for years beans I'm not sure why but I havnt tryed it. We are considerably older and finally getting away from anything store canned.

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Great job getting away from store canned food. It’s more work to do your own but so worth it! These canned beans are actually Healthy, which is so nice.

[@kristicheatham245]

I live out by Azure. Love their stuff. You did a great job on the video. Ill be using your recipe for sure. Hello from the Columbia River gorge, OR.😊

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Thank you. It’s cool you live out there. I love their stuff too! If I can’t grow it or raise it, I usually get it from Azure.

[@mindalick8867]

where did u get those wonderful stainless mixing bowls? please and what size are they?

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

These bowls are so great! They are huge and I love them! I have three. Bought them at Walmart last summer. They were $15. each and I have no idea what size they are. Maybe two gallon? Makes my regular mixing bowl seem small.

[@Myfavorites877]

Curious why you don’t look or wash your beans before soaking?

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

I buy high quality, organic beans. Always done it this way and I have never had any issues.

[@Coopdaddy70]

I appreciate the video. I have a couple of questions: 1) Is there any issue with adding cooked bacon to beans in the canning process? (I grew up with Bacon in the beans.) And post-canning, do I still need to boil the beans on the stove before I place them in a 9 X 13 pan to bake? I like the thicker oven baked beans.

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Meat cans for an hour and 30 minutes so it should be fine to add bacon to the beans. That would definitely be a great addition! I think the bean juice would thicken fine in the oven. I would just try it and see.

[@JanetSpear55]

About how much bacon do you think per jar?

[@robbinb5477]

Can I use regular molasses?

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Yup! Absolutely! I use blackstrap to keep my iron levels up so blackstrap molasses is what I always have on hand. Really good stuff, but regular molasses will be fine in the beans.

[@donnavongal8221]

Is it still 7 cups before you soak them and they swell?

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

Yes, ma’am. 7 cups of dried beans for 7 jars. They will swell to more than 7 cups which is why I measure before I soak them.

[@crystalross4044]

Hello, can i water bath beans?

[@PoplarSpringFarm]

No, they have to be pressure canned.
