Bean Machine

A few weeks ago I got a lesson in how to bottle beans. I'd never heard of it before but it makes total sense. No more soaking beans overnight, it's as quick as opening a can but cheaper if you can imagine. I don't think bottling anything could be easier.

We tried them right out of the bottle and then seasoned some and made burritos and they were awesome right out of the jar so you can imagine how yummy they were seasoned.


So I've been on a huge bottling kick and(Erin you'll get a kick out of this) I asked my mom if she had any extra jars and she said she had a few so I went to get them and decided to check in the garage for more and I totally hit a jackpot. She had like 8 boxes full of quart and pint jars almost brand new just waiting for me to rescue them. So I put them to good use. I learned how to bottle chicken now too. My food storage is going to rock! I'll be having Sweet n Sour chicken instead of wheat and powdered milk.



I wish I would have gotten a picture of every jar I've done because there were over a hundred. I've been showing other people how too so if you're at all interested I'd love to show you or at least give you the instructions and a bunch of bean recipes to go with.

Thanks Patrice your lesson was a pebble in the water.
