Here is how you make Old Fashioned Baked Beans with CA Kick - Pressure Coooker:

Overnight (or for 8 to 10 hours) soak 1 cup of dry beans in about a quart of water.The next morning, drain water from beans in a strainer.Meanwhile, melt butter in pressure cooker (no lid yet). Add vegetables and saute over medium heat:onion, garlic, celery, and Anaheim chili pepper.When onions are translucent, keep heat on and add:3 cups watersoaked beans that have been drained and rinsed,ham shank or other meat for flavoring,and then the balance of ingredients.Mix it up, stirring gently.Bring to a gentle boil using medium heat, then put lid on pressure cooker and twist to seal. Do not put the rocker on yet.From this point on... timing may vary with your pressure cooker. You may experiment to find more exact timings that work for you.1) Once I put the lid on, I set the kitchen timer for 14 minutes to allow air to escape from pan. 2) After 14 minutes, I then put the weight on my small Presto (old style) pressure cooker. 3) Then I wait for the rocker to begin to dance & hiss (or rock). Then cook for 20 more minutes under pressure. 4) Turn off heat and let the pan set until the pressure drops naturally. Remove rocker after pressure drops. Let pan set a few minutes, then you can twist and remove the lid.Occassionally, they will be under cooked and I will cook them a bit more without pressure, just before serving.Often, I put them into a quart jar in the refrigerator because they are even better a day or two later. They keep about a week in a cold refrigerator.Serving suggestions: add some hot dogs and make beans and weinies. OR Bake in oven with a few slices of bacon on top. OR. serve beans, a kale slaw, and a bbq meat. Kale complements this very well. Serving Size:?Makes about a quart. 8 servings - 1/2 cup each.
