I love canning but I don't have a lot of experience.   This afternoon I canned some Boston Baked Beans.   The process, though, started last night.    This is the recipe  I used (Ball Blue Book).


Soak  1 quart of dried navy beans in 3 quarts of water for 12-18 hours.
Drain and refill with 3 quarts of water and 2 tsp salt.
Boil until skins crack.
Drain, reserving liquid.
Pour beans into a baking dish.   Add 1/2 pound salt pork, cut into pieces, and 3 large      onions, sliced.
Make sauce with 2/3  cup brown sugar
                            2 tsp salt
                            2 tsp dry mustard
                            2/3 cup molasses
                            4 cups of reserved liquid (add water if needed to make 4 cups)
Pour sauce over beans, cover, and bake for 3 to 3 1/2 hours (350 degree oven).

Ladle hot beans in hot jars. 
Process 1 hour 20 minutes for pints and 1hour 35 minutes for quarts  at 10 pounds pressure.

I was able to get 5 pints out of this recipe.  I had some left over, so we ate those for supper.  It was very good.
