Cooking tip for old beans.

They can stay tough even with long cooking.

Soak them overnight.

Rinse and then pressure can.

Fill the jars about 3/4 full..The rest with water.

The combination of high temp and pressure will make them tender.

When you soak your beans overnight be sure to add a bit of baking soda. It reduces the gas that usually accompanies beans.

Also, think about stockpiling some herbs. Dried herbs can’t compare to fresh herbs but when you’re trying to survive even dried herbs will be a treat.
