Canned Green Beans Recipe
By Ann
A super easy home canning recipe with step by step tutorial photographs on how to can green beans. In under an hour you can preserve your harvest of green beans to enjoy year-round.

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients:

● 3 lbs Green Beans
● 2 tsp Kosher Salt
● 4 cups Boiling Water + more for pressure canner

Directions:

● Wash your canning jars, lids, gaskets, screw tops in the dishwasher on sanitize, boiling water on the stove, or extremely hot sink water.
● While your canning jars are being cleaned; thoroughly wash your green beans.
● Snap the ends off your green beans.
● If desired, break your green beans into approximate 2 inch pieces.
● Pack raw green beans into clean, hot canning jars leaving about ½” of head space between the green beans and the top of the jar.
● Add ½ teaspoon of salt to each jar and fill with boiling water, being careful to leave the same ½” of head space.
● Add lids and loosely tighten rings.
● Add jars to your pressure canner and fill 2 inches deep with water.
● Process at 15 pounds of pressure for 20 minutes.
● Tip: Store the jars without the screw top rings on so you can keep an eye on the seal of the lid and make sure it is not compromised during canning and storage.

● Makes 8 servings Canned Green Beans

Notes

● Pressure canners these days are much better than they used to be. This is the Pressure Canner used for this tutorial.

● Want to make quart jars? Remember there are two pints in a quart, so simply double this recipe to get 4 quarts of canned green beans.

● In this tutorial, the rings were built into the lid. If you have the old lids + rings + bands, no problem, it works the same way.

● Make sure you sterilize all the parts of your canning jar: the jar itself, lids, bands. Some people just use REALLY hot sink water to get the jars good and hot and clean. You can also run the jars through the dishwasher instead to make sure they are clean and come out hot. And there is the old boil it all on the stove so they come out squeaky clean and remain hot.
