yet I'm so sure that's the only thing I haven't done wrong

the first time I waited like 4 hours and didn't touch the rocker
the 2nd time I let it sit overnight.. about 5-6 hours...

I have removed them and wont' touch them... but for how long?

THEY ARE PERFECT!!!!!

ok.. black beans tomorrow & if I have time split pea soup too

I opened the bake beans that hadn't popped... they smelled a slight bit funny but I wasn't used to that recipe I thought it was the molasses or something and tasted them.. but they didn't taste quite right.. so I dumped them all. Hopefully I'll have better luck tomorrow with black beans

The black beans look great too!!!!! Hooray!!!

I made them as normal except cooked them an hour and a half less. I used a slotted spoon and filled each jar halfway with beans, then stuck in a piece of the pork, then filled the rest of the way with the juices.

They look beautiful.. I would take a picture but I don't want to mess with them... not until tomorrow.
