Response to How to can cooked dry beans?

I read, I believe, in Countryside how to can beans. You do not cook them first. Put 1 cup of cleaned dry beans into qt. jars. Add 1 tsp. salt, fill to within 2" of top, clean jar rims and put on lids. Process in canner at 15#for 90 min. I have canned many different kinds of beans this way with success. I've done pinto beans, navy beans, garbanzos, dry limas, and kidney beans and have always had great success. It is convenient to have them already cooked but be sure to heat them for 15 min. before eating.
