I started pressure canning some chilli lately. Results are ok, tastes like canned chilli, ingredients are just a little soft. I fried up all ingredients, then added canned beans before pressure canning.

I was thinking whats the differnce if I just put all ingredients in the jars raw and pressure can them? I tried searching the www and couldnt find any results..I got a whole bear to cut and was thinking of doing a big batch right away rather than wasting time wrapping the ground.
