Ingredients

2 kg Navy Beans
5 litres Tomato Juice

6-8 Garlic Cloves Finely diced
⅔ cup Raw Sugar
1 ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
1-2 tbsp Salt

Method

Pre-cook Beans

Soak Beans 8-12 hours until soft (Note - this took over 24 hours here as our water is particularly hard). Drain
Place in pot of water. Simmer - skimming foam off regularly. Cook on low, covered 1-1.15 hours till tender. Drain

Make Sauce

Combine juice, onion, garlic, salt, sugar and cinnamon in a large pot
Bring to boil, stirring occasionally to blend
Fill hot sterile jars ⅓ to ½ full with Navy Beans
Ladle over hot sauce, leaving 1" head space
Remove bubbles, top up sauce if necessary. Wipe rim of jar. Add lid
Can at 10 lbs for a weighted gauge, 11 lbs for a dial gauge. 65 minutes for Pints, 75 minutes for quarts

Notes

Soaking and Precooking the beans will take out the complex sugars that cause gas.

Onion Powder or Garlic Powder can be substituted for fresh.
