Canned green beans... from HOME!
So easy and sooooo good! Prepare your jars by running them thru the dishwasher and boil your lids and rings! Using wide mouth jars is a little easier to pack the beans. Pour 2 quarts water and a little white vinegar in the canner and you are ready to go!
String and break your beans...
wash them...
(I do 3 washes and I do it AFTER stringing and breaking)
pack your jars, add 1 tsp canning salt to each jar and fill to top with water...
I pack with a wooden spoon until I get to where I can reach them with my hands. It is much easier for me because my hands are not "dainty" enough to fit comfortably.
Place lids and tighten rings...
I let my pressure canner boil and start steaming before placing the jiggler... just personal preference
Bring pressure to 10-12 lbs and set timer for 25 minutes...
After 25 minutes, turn heat off and let pressure come down before trying to remove lid. Use your jar lifter to get beans out of canner and wait for the pop!
This is not how everyone does it, but it has worked for us for years! Easy and worth the extra effort!! We have not gotten sick eating them yet! :)))
