jars and lids

Directions

When canning green beans, the main thing to do is get the beans, whether from your garden or from the market, canned as quickly as possible after they are picked. The fresher the green beans are, the better the flavor.

Before canning green beans, wash them thoroughly under running water, or if you use standing water, you will need to change the water several times to insure the proper cleaning and removal of dirt. Dirt contains bacteria that are difficult to kill. But don't let the beans soak. This can result in loss of flavor and vitamins.

You will need to trim the ends of the beans and remove the strings.

Then you may either cut the green beans in half or into 1" slices. For canning green beans that are uniform in size, you may want to leave them whole.

If you leave them whole, pack them standing on end in the jars.

For canning green beans with the Raw Pack method:

Pack the beans tightly to within ½" of the top of the jar. Add salt (1/2 teaspoon to pints; 1 teaspoon to quarts).

Have your water boiling and fill the jars with the boiling water covering the green beans to within ½" of the top of the jar. Adjust the lids on the jars and process in the pressure canner at 10 pounds pressure (240 degrees F.).

Cook pint jars for 20 minutes; quart jars for 25 minutes.

After canning green beans for the times given, remove from the canner and complete the seals unless the lids are the self-sealing kind.

NOTE... No Pressure Canner? Do what I do, use a pot big enough to hold the jars so that the water covers them. Boil for about 20 minutes.

Thanks for this and the tomato post! I'm going to attempt canning for the first time ever this fall and have never done it in my life! I want to do relish, jam, corn, carrots and everything. Can I use jam jars and pickle jars etc. or must they be Mason jars with the rubber seals?

Thanks for the post. I assisted Mom with many, many loads of green beans through growing up. I remember sliding a butter knife down each of the four sides to allow the air bubbles to come up for anything we canned. Mom was also a nut about making sure the rims of each jar was quickly wiped with a clean damp cloth to ensure nothing would prevent sealing after the salt was in and the bubbles were out.
