    1/2 cup uncooked beans is a lot in a pint jar with such a thick sauce. Seems like the sauce should have been thinner for those. Beans are funny. They continue to absorb liquid over time as they sit on the shelf after processing. Maybe consuming them within a month or so, it would be ok, but I would make the chili thinner for long term storage. Looking forward to trying this recipe. Bet it will have a fab depth of flavor. Thank you for posting!

      I have never pressure canned pineapple, but I think it sounds delish. It's used in pressure canning sweet and sour chicken and seems to hold up well. I would definitely try it. If you do it, please let me know how you like it.

      I had a bit extra pork and a bit extra mango, which got me an extra pint.

    In the planning stage of redoing my kitchen! Love all of your ideas! You never said what your new countertop for your island is made of - can you share that please?

      Good timing! It's quartz. I think it's Valor White. Edit to add it's not Valor white. I included a link to the right one below.
