I just got 10 lbs. of this year's crop of pinto beans. Think I will
can them while they are nice and fresh.

Are they truly dried beans? I just stick them in jars and put them on
the shelf in the pantry and soak them or cook them the quick method when
I want some beans. I guess presoaking and pressure canning would make
for quicker beans and rice though.

These are dried beans and just came in to the market. I decided that
I would cook them before they have a chance to get old. The owner of
the market said the many people put them in the freezer.

Besides we like to eat pintos, cole slaw and cornbread for a meal.
Since we have moved we found a mill less than 10 miles away that
processes both corn and flour.

Dang, did you move somewhere around Hereford, Texas? Used to buy 100 lb
bags of pintos, flour, cornmeal, etc from Arrowhead Mills there back in
our hippie days for our co-op. Good eats and the best American made
fermented soy sauce I ever ate.

Dem beans don't get old on me in the jars because I vacuum seal them
with my Tilia. Quart jar of beans is just about right for a mess of
beans with sausage, onion, epazote leaves, and other spices. Then cook
up a mess of Arkansas cornbread, pour the beans and pot likker over the
cornbread, toss on a handful of grated cheese and dig in.

We also like the sugar free cornbread with sweet milk over it, add some
chopped onions, a soupcon' of black pepper and chow down.

Sounds like you moved to a good place.

I used to do that with buttermilk. Never liked buttermilk to drink, but
liked it on chunks of cornbread! Mmmmm! Makes a good soap, too. (The
buttermilk, not the cornbread. Sheesh!)

Uh-oh, I never canned it so I'm OT... on Topic, I'm itching to get the
jar-sealing attachment for my Tilia so I can keep dry foods fresh. I
thought the big deluxe "with all kinds of attachments" box I got would
surely have that; no, it only seals its own proprietary plastic jars.
And bottles. Somehow, I have never felt the need to vaccum-pack a bottle
of liquid.
