Tess' Notes:

This is an older Ball recipe. I have not made it yet myself but I have canned ham and beans and YUM! I think it would be very tasty if some of the ketchup was switched out for prepared chili sauce.

Directions

Soak beans as usual.

Combine remaining ingredients except bacon. To each hot pint jar, add 1 cup soaked beans then add 1 cup liquid mixture and stir to mix well. Add 1 piece of bacon and push under liquid.

Run a spatula around inside of jar. Clean jar rims thouroghly and adjust lids. Process at 10 pounds pressure for 75 minutes.

Allow pressure cooker to return to no pressure naturally. Remove jars and place on a cloth dishtowel out of the sun. Allow to rest for 24 hours then check for seal.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm on sodium restriction and can alter this recipe to meet my needs. I even found salt free heinz ketchup, so this is a save for me and now I won't be deprived of one of my favorite picnic foods.

my mother would make these in a big roasting pan, and there was never any left , we would end up making a meal out of the beans 8]

my mom always used salt pork but I'm a lazy person , I do chop bacon and place on top to cook, when its crisp I stir it into the beans

My Grandma boiled salt pork first to get rid of some of the salt before she cooked it.

Thanks Sandy, and I'll have to omit any pork or bacon, even turkey bacon is loaded with salt. But I can live without it. :) I hate waking up at 4 am short of breath as I did this morning, I am fearful even though my sodium intake is very low, that my kidneys aren't working as they had been.
