Hi Everyone!
Wow! What a job canning Louisiana Red Beans. But I have to tell you this recipe is exceptional. The best beans I have ever made. This is what we had for dinner. Mr. M. had 2 huge bowls.
This was a huge canning job and I'm not sure if I will make these again to can.
|
1st get canning items ready.  |
Jars and lids washed and sterilized.  |
|
Set up canner in back room. Since I use propane I can't do it inside the house.  |
Prepare the ingredients. andouille, bacon, onions.  |
|
Everything needs to be rendered and drained.  |
I had to cook the andouille in two batches.  |
|
The onions get a few spices added while they cook.  |
While I'm cooking the ingredients, the beans are on the stove with ham hawks for 15 minutes hard boil.  |
|
I cut as much meat off the ham hawks to put in the beans as well. In addition I had a big pot of chicken broth heating.  |
Mixing this all together was a chore but I got it done. Time to fill the jars.  |
|
|
|
This is how they came out.
7 quarts canned and I froze 3 meal size bags.
I
filled the jars as directed. 3/4 of beans and a 1" head space for the
liquid. The beans sucked up the liquid pretty good.
The trait of canning
beans.
I will post the recipe tomorrow. You will want to try this.

...this looks like a spicy treat.
Tom, I was expecting these beans to be very spice, however, they are not. Just the right amount.
As I mentioned in my previous comment on your blog, I like red beans. Looking forward to reading your recipe :-)
Take care!
Good morning thank you for your recipe sounds delicious if I ever get a gas stove (I don't can on electric with my big canners) I would like to get back to canning I have always enjoyed it.
If you like one of my bags let me know I will have a couple extras We are back to super cold again today but a big warm up end of week

That looks like a very big job. I don't do much canning myself, I don't have the equipment and I probably won't get it either. However, I do make my own jam (very simple recipe) and in the summer I turn fresh tomaotes in sauce and freeze it for the winter months.
These beans look so yummy to eat. You have been busy
Now THAT'S a meaty recipe!
Hard worker you are!
Amazing job, because I cook quite a bit myself, I know this all takes a lot of work and coordination!! I didn't know that such canning is done!! Very helpful, looking forward to the recipe!!Thank you so much Nicole!
Well done, You. I'm looking forward to this recipe.
Spicy good !!!
I know that canning is a lot of work. But I also know that you will really enjoy those later.
Now, that is why I tend to not can things! (Storage is an issue, too.) Just doing tomatoes for sauce is a long job, but your beans have me beat by a massive amount! I do say well done! And I know you'll enjoy the fruits (or veggies) of your labors!
