Just make sure you can the whole batch for the amount of time of the longest food needing canning (typically meat and beans require the longest canning time).. You can add the veggies at any point. They will cook as the soup is canning.

Is it necessary to add the molasses/sweetener and tomatoes? I also like to put carrots in my soup would I make sure they are cooked first or would it be okay to just add them when I add everything else to the beans and bring to a boil?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-82051919127825288072014-04-24T19:54:21.027-07:002014-04-24T19:54:21.027-07:00I use fresh in the summer when I have a garden ful...I use fresh in the summer when I have a garden full of them.. :) You could use fresh in this recipe just fine..

Some jars may not be boiling when you bring them out of the canner. They have cooled off and the boiling has stopped. If the jars are sealed, it should be just fine. Smelling chicken soup is also normal.

Best to add a half teaspoon of baking soda which helps break down the shell. but salt toughens the bean. <br /><br />just a thought .<br />keep up the great work :-)gracielynn'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589414025244058074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-90934836768036795682012-08-01T21:27:11.520-07:002012-08-01T21:27:11.520-07:00HI Galleon's Gold Jewelry,

I can whatever my garden produces.. typically green beans, 3 bean salad, pickled beets, spaghetti sauce, salsa, etc… I don’t can a lot of fruit. I find I can buy fairly good quality jam for a reasonable price and I prefer to serve my family fresh fruit instead of canned.<br /><br />After the garden canning I move onto convenience foods.. soups, chili, beef stew, beans, etc.. I also can meats.. chicken, salmon and beef. <br /><br />I don’t have all of these items on the shelf at all times. I can when the opportunity is there.<br /><br />Crystal :)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621490444516696992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-68806802772060697162012-07-29T21:19:06.897-07:002012-07-29T21:19:06.897-07:00I love this recipe---am anxious to try it.
