Bottling beans was "supper" easy!
First start with clean bottles, wash your beans and set them aside you will need 1 1/4 C. clean bean's for each quart bottle.
After adding my beans I added 1/4 tsp. of Cumin and 1 tsp. salt. We love the flavor of Cumin. The Cumin is completely optional! But don't forget the salt!
Fill the bottles up to the LIP, at the bottom of the jar neck, with boiling water.
The Cumin makes the water a little yellow. Put the lids & rings on... just finger tightened. Let them sit on your counter for at least 2 hours.
The beans will begin to absorb the water and will take up a little more space in the jars. Then arrange your jars in your pressure cooker.
Process for 60 minutes at 10 lbs. of pressure.
Once your pressure cooker is no longer under "pressure" remove carefully and allow to cool.
Finished Pinto Beans and...
Black Beans
Don't forget to mark your jars clearly with the contents, month, & year they were bottled!
