I hope this can be a helpful reference for someone since all beans are so different. But today my husband needed a can of garbanzo beans. A 15 oz can was like $1.50 so I bought 2 lbs of dry beans for $4.
I followed the USDA dry beans guidelines. After quick soaking, boiling for 30 minutes, and setting aside about a pint of beans for him to cook with, I ended up with 8 wide mouth pints of garbanzo beans. I know each bean comes out differently with starting dry weight vs end volume so in this case it was 2 lbs dry = 8.5-9 pints.
Happy canning!

I love this for fresh hummus and red pepper dip. Delish and so economical. Canning your own beans of any kind is very economical. If I had the space to grow my own for dry storage etc. I would. Excellent source of protein.
These are so handy to have on hand! Way to go!
