Canning green beans


Today I canned another five half-pints of green beans.  The whole project took about an hour and a half, from picking beans to finished product. Beans are the easiest vegetable to can because all you have to do is wash, trim, chop, pack in clean jars, add salt, cover with boiling water, and process for 20 minutes at 10 pounds pressure in a pressure cooker.

  1. I like the pretty canning jar lids. Where did you find them?

    1. Well, actually I already had them stored with my other canning supplies. These lids are one of the older Ball designs and I only had a few left. The new lids are plain in comparison. I would say canning must be enjoying a comeback because I've been stocking up to get ready for canning tomatoes in September and some stores are already out of jars and lids.
