Baked Beans

 

Recipe By : Southern Living Canning & Preserving Cookbook

 

1 quart dried beans

1/2 pound salt pork

1 quart Tomato juice

3 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon mixed spices

 

Sort and wash the dried beans, then cover with boiling water. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let soak for 1 hour. Return to heat and bring to a boil. Drain and reserve the liquid.

 

Cut the pork in 2-inch pieces. Fill the jars 3/4 full with the hot beans and add a piece of salt pork to each jar.

 

Mix the remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour sauce into each jar with beans to 1/2 inch from the top. Finish filling with reserved liquid, if needed. Place lids on jars and tighten bands. Process pint jars for 1 hour and 5 minutes at 10 pounds pressurs.

That processing time doesn't sound right. I though a pint of beans was always 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes).
