- 8 tsp Black Pepper (Ground) = [1/8 Cup + 2 tsp]
- 8 tsp Mustard Powder = [1/8 Cup + 2 tsp]
Instructions
- Pre-Soak Beans (Quick Soak Method) [See Notes below].
- Combine all ingredients in a Large Nesco Roaster Oven or Stockpot.
- Bring Baked Beans/Molasses Sauce Beans Up to a Boil & Simmer x 30 min. [It takes about 1 1/2 - 2 Hours to bring this volume of Liquid & Ingredients up to a Boil if doing large batches]
- Fill Jars about 1/2 Full of Beans & Top Off with the Molasses Sauce to a 1" Headspace.
- Use Bubble Removal Tool (or chopstick works well too) to remove any bubbles from the jars by sliding along the sides of the Baked Beans inside each jar.
- Wipe rims of jars and place lid/ring on each jar, finger tightening the ring.
- Add water (amount is as recommended by manufacturer of canner) & canning tray to bottom of pressure canner.
- Place jars into Pressure Canner for processing.
- Let the pressure canner come up to temperature/pressure, once steam is released in a steady stream x 10 min from the release stem, place 10 psi weight onto stem (or adjust temperature until gauge is to desired psi); add weight/gauge reading value as necessary based on your altitude.
- Process for 65 min (Pint Jars) or 75 min (Quart Jars).
- Once processing is complete, let the canner release all the pressure, then remove its weight & lid and let the jars sit in the pressure canner for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer jars to a towel/dish drying mat for 12-24 hours for cooling and sealing. Listen for the pings as they seal!
- After 12-24 hours, you can remove the rings, making sure the jars all sealed, label jars and place in a cool, dry place for storage. 50-70 degrees is optimal.
- If any jars did not seal, place them in the refrigerator for enjoying now!
Notes
- You can use whatever Dry Beans you like for this Baked Beans Recipe. Navy Beans are the Traditional Bean for Baked Beans. I like the softness and flavor a Great Northern Bean can bring to the table for Baked Beans & I love Black Beans! Pinto Beans would be nice too, just know they absorb a lot of liquid!
- Pre-Soak Beans (Quick Soak Method) => 3 Cups Water : 1 Cup Dried Beans. Bring Dried Beans up to a Boil and Boil x 2 min. Then shut off heat & Soak x 1 Hour. After Soak time has finished, Drain Beans and move on with the Recipe above!
- Want a Spicy Molasses Sauce? Add 2 Cups of Jalapeno Peppers (Diced) [@5-6 Peppers] to the Ingredients above and you'll get a little extra kick with your Baked Beans!
- Ready to Cook some of these Homemade Baked Beans for your next Cookout, Campout or Lunch/Dinner? Place these Canned Baked Beans into a Casserole or Bake Dish, then play around with adding extra flavored Ingredients & Sauces for some Thick Baked Beans. Bacon, Ketchup, BBQ Sauce, Molasses, Brown Sugar and Mustard are great options; then Bake the Baked Beans at 375 degrees for @ 45 min - or until they are Thick & Cooked to your liking!
