I double-checked the recipe as given here against the original, and it is correct. These beans won't be mushy, but they certainly aren't hard as a rock.<br />I have heard from others that old beans don't get soft, even with canning, but I have never had that experience as I never have them on hand that long.<br />If you opened them within days of canning, I would suggest that you let them sit a month or two; mine usually get mushier before we use them up.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060391185753177506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-87067457705485109512015-12-21T19:23:57.867-06:002015-12-21T19:23:57.867-06:00I followed the instructions exactly.

Since I'm diabetic, I'll skip the canned Boston Baked Beans but you have inspired me to can Charro Beans (Mexican Bean Soup). I often make enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, etc. and a bowl of Charro Beans is a perfect accompaniment. Unfortunately, from scratch, they are a hassle to prepare. As soon as I finish processing our garden tomatoes, I'll try my hand at canning Charro Beans. Thanks for the idea and inspiration!Shirlsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386134390127556800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-11838426093218091412014-07-24T05:42:20.216-05:002014-07-24T05:42:20.216-05:00Pam,

I probably would not get enough use from it to justify both the cost and the storage space. Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.com
