This weekend, Shane and I put up 7 quarts of kidney beans. Note: Before I started canning my dry beans I would be forever deciding I wanted beans for dinner too late to get them soaked and cooked. This way they are ready to go any time I want them.
Last time we processed beans, we followed the instructions in the Blue Book, and ended up swimming in par boiled beans. The recipe calls for 2 1/4 a pound dry beans per quart. That is way Way WAY to much!!!
This time we did 3/4 a pound per quart and still had too many beans, but it wasn't nearly the disaster that the last time was.
I'd like to get another batch done this week. I think I'll go with 5 pounds for 7 quarts. We'll see how it goes.
