This is a favorite, I tweaked this recipe several times before I found just the right balance of molasses and honey.
This recipe is for 1lb beans which makes about 3 pints.
Wash and drain beans, I prefer navy (white) beans. Mix together 1/4c molasses, 1/4 c honey, 1 tbs vinegar, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp dry mustard and heat to boiling. Meanwhile chop the onion.
Fill pint jars with about 1/2c beans, 1/4 c molasses mixture, handful of chopped onion, and fill to 1/2" space with hot water.
I'm such a dummy-- Seal jars according to proper canning procedures. The longer the beans sit on the shelf, the better they taste.
Process at 11 lbs for 65 minutes - pints
for qts process 11lbs for 75 min
I tried this recipe today, fisrt time EVER I've used a pressure cooker. I didn't see the part about adding water to the half inch line. The beans are cooked, but I was hoping to re-can them after adding the water Can I do that, with new lids? Thanks

Mary is the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of all of us even though it was Christ alone who reposed on her knees… If he is ours, we ought to be in his situation; there where he is, we ought also to be and all that he has ought to be ours, and his mother is also our mother. —Martin Luther, Christmas Sermon, 1529.
