My old Presto No. 21AV holds 7 Quart jars or 18 Pint jars per batch.
Step 1: (Optional) Soak Beans / Peas / Lentils
- 1 C per each Quart or ½ C per each Pint
- My Presto No. 21AV holds
7 Quart jars [7 C dried beans] or
18 Pint jars [9 C dried beans].
- Place dried beans in a large pot and cover with water.
- Add 2 Tbsp of Lemon Juice or Vinegar.
- Soak 12 to 18 + hours in a cool place.
- Drain & Rinse using a colander.
Step 2: Prepare Jars
- Run clean jars through dishwasher; (leave them in there to steam until ready to fill).
- Place canning lids into a pan of just-boiled water; keep there until ready to use.
- Pour 2 qt* hot water in pressure canner. (*Fill according to your canner's instructions)
- Fill all jars equally with beans and then add hot water until there's 1 inch left at the top.
- Add salt if desired (1 tsp per each Quart / ½ C tsp per each Pint ((??).
- Wipe around jar rims with a clean, damp dishrag or paper towel.
- Place a lid on each jar with a ring and finger-tighten with one hand until jar spins on counter.
- Place jars into pressure canner, not touching each other.
Step 3: Process Jars
- Place lid securely on the canner by lining up the ARROW on the lid with OPEN & CLOSED on the pot.
- Turn on heat to HIGH.
- Wait until a steady stream of steam vents out of the petcock for 7–10 minutes.
- Close the petcock and allow pressure to build up to desired pressure (13 – 15 psi for Idaho). (My cooker reads 2.5 too high so 15.5–17.5 psi for mine in ID.)
- Reduce heat to stabilize pressure between {13–15 / 15.5–17.5} and keep it there for 90 mins for Quarts / 75 mins for Pints. (On the big front burner of my stove, pressure stabilizes right between the W in LOW and the straight line between LOW & MED.)
Step 4: Cool & Store
- After timer goes off, turn off stove and allow canner to cool COMPLETELY before releasing gauge & opening lid.
- Carefully transfer jars to a wood surface to cool in a non-drafty area, not touching each other.
- Each lid should "pop" as it seals. After this, remove rings, wipe, date / mark lids and store jars.
