My husband LOVES pork and beans. But I don't think he has loved them as much as he has until I started making them myself! And it's pretty simple.
Start with the leftover ham bone from Christmas, or whenever you eat ham. (I freeze the bone until I'm ready to make this)
Soak the beans overnight. Honestly, I don't measure anything, I fly by the seat of my pants. It was about 1 - 1 1/2 cups of each: red, black, pinto, and cannelini (white kidney) beans.
Once those have soaked (add 2 Tbsp of baking soda to water to help with the "gassy" effect), drain and rinse the beans.
Put beans, ham bone, and just enough water to cover beans into pressure cooker. Add whatever seasonings you'd like.
Pressure cook with 10 pounds for 3 minutes.
Let pressure release.
The meat just falls off the bone at this point. Yum!
Now add the beans and chunks of ham to sterilized jars, place lid and ring on jars. Finger tighten.
Pressure can (splash of vinegar, remember!) for 75 minutes with 10 pounds pressure.
Let pressure cooker vent on its own. Place jars in draft free area to cool.
