We are starting to can our bean crop. This is so easy to do!

Simply wash your beans, trim the ends off. Then cut or break into pieces about an inch long.
Fill the jars leaving 1 inch head space.
Add 1/2 tsp salt per pint, 1 tsp salt per quart. The salt is optional but does help to keep the color and taste.
Fill the jars with boiling water, leaving an inch of head space.
Wipe rims, add lids.
Pressure can pints for 20 min, quarts for 25 min.

Our garden is finally starting to produce so I’ve been canning today.  Todays totals are:

7 pints yellow beans

8 pints cherries in light syrup

6 half pints and 1 pint of cherry jam

There are lost of beans ready and waiting in the garden so I know what I’ll be doing this weekend. LOL!
