Curious, what is "Greek seasoning" made of?

I just want you to know that you have earned the tag "yummy food person". I don't tag users often, but when I do my tags are simple and silly :)

I have just two people tagged so I know it can be a rare event. Thank you.

MM this looks tasty! I've still got too many tomatoes from the garden sitting on my counter, might need to take some inspiration from you here :)

Dumb question but where are you getting beans for so cheap? Canned around me is 80 cents to a dollar and in a bag is typically the same price per weight.

Also the weight thing: A pint is a pound is a good rule of thumb when canning. A pound of dry beans is going to make pounds of canned beans. So that dry pound is a lot more beans than that canned pound.

Ahhh I didn’t think about the liquid in the cans as weighing much but that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Wow, it looks really good, light but filling.

For canning them at home, do you have a recipe to share? I've prepared beans in a pressure cooker and froze them, but haven't tried canning them.

Pick clean, rinse, bring to a boil for 5 minutes, let sit for 30 minutes, place in jar (fill about 3/4 full), fill with boiling water leaving one inch headspace, lids, hot canner, standard boil/vent/pressure procedure, 75 minutes for pints.
