How about like 3 hours? In boiling water in a cold pack. Less if you have a pressure cooker which I never had. Buy a Kerr or Ball canning book and follow it exactly. That's how I learned to can. Green beans and corn and vegetable soup, I remember took 3 hours. I think baked beans did too. My husband loved them so I would can some quarts of them for him and the kids. I've never cared that much for baked beans. That is an all day affair to can them. This is from memory but I soaked the beans overnight. Then cooked them the next morning. Then put them with all the additives (catsup, brown sugar, etc) in a roasting pan and baked them for so long. Then I put them in the jars and processed them for 3 hours. Now you can tell how much I loved my husband. <grin> It really was an act of love, with all the work involved.
