Shank Meat and Beans in Broth

I cooked up two pots of shanks according to this method.  Along with the BBQ pork sandwich meal we had from them, I ended up with 9 pints of shredded pork that I will use for stir fry, fajitas, pulled pork sandwiches, and BBQ pork sandwiches.

I still had a bit of pork broth left from canning soup bones, so I decided to use this broth to soak and can beans in, adding extra flavor and nutrients to my beans. I ended up with 5 quarts of flavored navy beans, 8 pints (we ate 2 already) and 2 quarts of baked beans/pork and beans, and 8 pints of flavored black beans.
