[frozen-assets] Re: Dried Pinto Beans [SNIPED!]

 

I bought a huge bag of beans during the Y2K scare (pre-2000)and of course never needed them. Last summer, my 84 year old mom told me that old beans wouldn't soften and they were probably be hard when cooked. (NOTE: as a 'southern' gal, I like my beans mushy and soupy with lots of seasoning.)I was really aggravated that I'd lost all those beans.

I decided to take a chance and got out my pressure CANNER (not cooker) and using standard directions for canning pintos, canned them.

Guess what? They were wonderful. We have been eating on them all last winter. Just popped them open, put in my meat to season them (I use cooked turkey sausages...you know the kind that looks like Polish sausage...) Let them simmer to flavor up the beans, add cornbread and a hunk of onion and...man-o-man...good eatin'

Is this repeatable? I don't know..but that was my experience with 10 year old dried beans.
