Canning Soaked Dried Beans
I soak the beans overnight, then put 1/4 tsp of salt in each quart jar, only fill the jars about 1/2 full with beans and the rest with water (leave 1/2" headspace in the jars with the water) .... the beans will still expand some while processing in the canner and you don't want your jars to break.
Then put the jars in the pressure canner and process for an hour and 15 minutes at 10 lbs of pressure unless you live in a higher altitude then it's 12 lbs.
The processing time cooks them since they soaked over night.
Then just heat up before you serve them.

I too am a Christian Homeschool Mom and am trying to feed my family in the most natural way that I can. I want to can beans that I have cooked overnight in a crock pot. I also want to do it in a water canner. Do you have any suggestions?
I've never cooked them then canned them so I'm not sure how well they would do.
As far as water canning them, I do not recommend that. Beans need to be pressure canned as they are a low acid food. Otherwise you run the risk of botulism.
I grew up on water canned vegetables. I am not convinced at all that a pressure canner is the best route.
Thanks for your time.
I just recently canned pinto beans for the first time. An elderly lady friend showed me how. After soaking them, putting them in the jars with salt & water, we put them in a large water canner, brought it to a boil, turned it to low and simmered for 3 hrs. This is how she has always canned hers.
