• 3. When done seal with lid and ring. Add some ribbon to attach the instructions.
• 4. **In your bean isle at your store you may be able to fine a bage of 13 bean mix that will have most if not all of these beans and that will work just as well as getting them by them selves.

• 8. Lower the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour or tender, stir occasionally. Add tomatoes and seasoning packet and simmer the soup for another 30 minutes to blend flavors.
• 9. ~~~~~ Good side note: I give a box of Jiffy corn bread mix or if I have on hand a home made jar of corn bread mix it give it instead. You can also do biscute mix also.
• 10. *****NOTE: If you have a Food Saver System with a large jar seal attachment you can use it to seal wide mouth jars and give them as gifts. There is also a regular size seal but it is easier to fill the wide. When filling jars I find that when doing layers that if you press/compress them you can get every thing in that is needed to get in. I find a canning muddier/press works good for me ;( The picture above is sealed and was a item at a Christmas bizarre)
