Ingredients
- fresh green beans ends snipped and cut into bite-size pieces
- sea salt
- water
TOOLS NEEDED:
- jars quarts or pints
- sealing lids
- sealing rings
- pressure canner
- canning tongs to remove hot jars
Method
- Sanitize jars, lids, and rings.
- Add 1 inch of water along with 1/2 teaspoon salt (for pint-size jars) to each jar. Add 1 teaspoon salt to each quart size jar.
- Pack with fresh green beans (pack'em in tight). Pack them in until they reach just under the neck of the jar (about an inch from the top).
- Add water until it reaches the neck of the jar (about an inch from the top of the jar).
- With a wet washcloth or paper towel, wipe the rim of the jars to remove anything that would discourage a strong seal.
- Add a sealing lid and ring. Secure ring well. Make it tight.
- Process green beans according to your pressure canner and altitude.
- Remove jars from pressure canner once pressure has fully released from the canner. Place on a towel or wire rack to cool. Do not disturb jars until fully cooled.
- Let jars cool fully before moving to storage. Double-check that all lids sealed before storing.
Notes
- Store properly sealed jars for up to 1+ years.
- If you have a jar that does not seal after cooling (the lid sounds like a button and can be pushed down then pops back up), store jar in the fridge and enjoy within a week.
