Homemade Canned Beans Recipe

FAQs

Can I use other types of beans?
Absolutely! You can use any dried beans such as chickpeas, lentils, or black-eyed peas. Adjust the cooking times accordingly, as different beans may require different soaking and cooking times.

What if my jars don’t seal?
If a jar doesn’t seal, refrigerate it and use the beans within a few days. You can also reprocess the jar with a new lid, but it’s best to do so within 24 hours.

Can I can beans without soaking them first?
Soaking is recommended to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility, but you can can unsoaked beans. Just increase the processing time to 90 minutes for pints and 120 minutes for quarts.
