Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Judy, I've never seen cranberry beans. Could you please tell me where they're available ( like a health food store or???) or do you order them from somewhere. Thanks, Maddie wwjd <jtwigg wrote: Cranberry Bean Soup *Cranberry Beans come dried and have a similar taste to Pinto Beans. Cooking Dried Cranberry Beans - I rinsed 1 1/2 c. dried cranberry beans and added them to hot water(enough to cover them by about 2 inches) in a pressure cooker. I sealed the lid and brought it to a boil. Turned down the heat to low and cooked about 10 minutes. I turned off the heat but left the pot still sealed on the same burned for one hour. After one hour turn back onto high and bring back to a boil. Turn down to low. Cook about 25 minutes. Then open the Pressure Cooker for the first time, following your pressure cooker directions. With mine, I take the pot to the sink and run cold water over the sealed pot. You will hear it when it releases the lid. Turn off the water and twist to open it. Check for tenderness. Drain off any excess water, leaving enough to simmer for about 5 minutes with salt. Cover once again and cook longer if not the tenderness you prefer. You can eat it just like this, if you just wanted some beans to eat, but we like it much better by proceeding on with the remaining ingredients to make it more of a soup mixture. Remove lid. Add 1 can of Petite diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies, 1 diced onion, 1 diced bell pepper, 1 t. minced dried garlic, 1 t. cumin, 2 Bay leaves. 1/2 t. Bakon - Smoked dry seasoning Add 2 c. water to make it more soup. Simmer covered for 10 minutes. Remove Bay Leaves Enjoy, Judy Get on board. You're invited to try the new Mail Beta.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Some grocery stores carry them in their dry bean section. I ordered mine thru a co-op, Something Better, that a friend and I would order things thru along with others. It says Country Life on the bag, as the manufacturer of it.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thanks Judy for the info. We have a huge grocery store 2 hours from where I live that we get to every 3 months.
