We're moving to a country property sometime in the next year (here in Honduras), and I'll be following you around to pick up tidbits of knowledge!<BR/><BR/>I am working on not coveting your canning success. I haven't tried this yet, and haven't even acquired any equipment, but I'm certainly thinking about it a lot! <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>TrishTrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707876118083759696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-89362431067260197052007-11-27T13:30:00.000-06:002007-11-27T13:30:00.000-06:00Thanks for coming by everyone. :) marysmom - The ...Thanks for coming by everyone. :) <BR/><BR/>marysmom - The first thing I canned was dried beans. I think it's a great way to start. If they don't turn out, you don't lose all that much. They are pretty cheap and didn't take all summer to grow!<BR/><BR/>I am really enjoying canning. I have been collecting my supplies for quite awhile. It seams like if you ask around, there are a lot people who have things that they don't use anymore and are willing to sell them for not much or even give them away. I have gotten my canners, jars, and other supplies 2nd hand and have saved quite a bit going that route. <BR/><BR/>Hope you are able to give it a try!The Beginning Farmer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930750761646770794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-56311772466711436782007-11-27T10:24:00.000-06:002007-11-27T10:24:00.000-06:00Found you through `*`jennifer's blog.

Now that I'm pretty much a SAHM (until somebody hires me), I think this would be a good project for me and my daughter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-42696603841633376232007-11-26T19:58:00.000-06:002007-11-26T19:58:00.000-06:00HiI just discovered your blog recently and have en...Hi<BR/><BR/>I just discovered your blog recently and have enjoyed reading both yours and your husband's posts. My husband & I are very much at the same place you are with trying things on a small piece of property while working towards something bigger, Lord willing. <BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to the recipe for canning dried beans as I'm in the same boat as Jennifer who commented earlier! <BR/><BR/>Your canned goods look beautiful! It sure is satisfying isn't it?<BR/><BR/>TheresaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955116067520235636.post-79277514614123664232007-11-26T16:55:00.000-06:002007-11-26T16:55:00.000-06:00What a neat blog!

It is amazing. You just soak them in the jar overnight, adjust the water height, and then can away. They cook while they can. It is WONDERFUL!!! <BR/><BR/>The beans turn out great too. The perfect consistency and everything. I use so many more dried beans if I have canned them and don't have to go through the whole process of cooking them when I need them.<BR/><BR/>I don't have the measurements of beans/water per jar or time in the canner on hand, but I know where it is and will post it next time I can some beans. I have a bag on the counter just waiting for me.

I've got a TON of dried beans... just sitting in bags... they'd get used a lot more if I'd cook them up and can them. <BR/><BR/>You are soooo resourceful!!
