Does it matter what size jars we use for that particular pounds pressure? Or is it the same for all size jars? Thanks so much for posting this!! I definitely want to try it. We used to practically live on pork and beans when we were growing up, since they were so cheap.

I dunno, I have always put up pints. From what I have seen in other recipes, you have to up the time at pressure for quart jars. usally it is 90 minutes for quarts, but you gotta do the legwork yourself
