When the canner has fully depressurized, carefully remove the jars and place them on a towel. Let them cool undisturbed for twelve to twenty four hours. Check the seals by pressing the center of each lid. A sealed lid will not flex.
Label the jars with the date and store them in a cool, dark place. Properly canned beans can last up to one year while maintaining excellent quality.

Once you experience the satisfaction of opening your own jars for soups, salads, chilis, and side dishes, this method will quickly become a kitchen staple. With a small investment of time, you can enjoy nutritious, delicious beans all year long.
