Ingredients
- Fresh Green Beans (The More the Better!)
- 1/2 tsp Canning Salt per Pint Jar / 1 tsp Canning Salt per Quart Jar (Optional)
- Water
Instructions
- Wash & Drain Green Beans; remove ends & strings from beans. Cut / Snap Green Beans to desired size.
- Pack the Fresh Green Beans into Jars (Fresh Pack Method), leaving a 1" headspace in the jar.
- Boil Water in a Kettle & add hot water to each jar, leaving a 1" headspace in the jar. (Add Canning Salt if desired).
- Use Bubble Removal Tool (or chopstick works well too) to remove any bubbles from the jars by sliding along the sides of the Green Beans inside each jar.
- Wipe rims of jars and place lid/ring on each jar, finger tightening the ring.
- Add water (Amount is as recommended by Manufacturer of canner) & canning tray to bottom of pressure canner.
- Place jars into Pressure Canner for processing.
- Let the pressure canner come up to pressure, once steam is released in a steady stream x 10 min from the release stem, place weight onto stem (or adjust temperature until gauge is to desired psi); add 10 Lb weight/gauge reading value as necessary based on your altitude.
- Process for 20 min (Pint Jars) or 25 min (Quart Jars).
- Once processing is complete, let the canner release all the pressure, then remove its weight & lid and let the jars sit in the pressure canner for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer jars to a towel/dish drying mat for 12-24 hours for cooling and sealing. Listen for the pings as they seal! In 12-24 hours, you can remove the rings, making sure the jars all sealed, label jars and place in a cool, dry place for storage. 50-70 degrees is optimal.
- If any jars did not seal, place them in the refrigerator for enjoying now!
