GREEN BEANS CANNING

 Green Beans are one of my favorite vegetables that's why one day I decided to can the green beans through this I can eat beans any time/month of the year. I will not wait for the seasons of beans. So, I decided to share my canning procedure with you guys through this you can also can the green beans. In my this post I include the step by step pressure canning instructions. Let's start the procedure.

 Step by Step Canning Directions

Before starting the procedure one thing I must be clear here pressure canning is more safe for canning the green beans as compare to water bath canning.

So, you need 13 or 14 pounds beans and 7 quarts jar.

Hot Pack Or Cold Pack

when you canning the Green Beans, You can do them cold packed or hot packed its up to you. This refer to how you pack your jars and cold pack also called "Row pack'' but in cold pack please don't be think its not going under the process. whatever process you select the basic thing is pressure canner will be used.in these days I prefer cold packing because it's little bit easy and fast process.

 

Hot Pack Canning Process

1) Boil the snapped beans for 5 minutes before packing the jars. 

2) Add canning salt into the jars.

3) Then drain the beans and pack into jars loosely.

4) Cover the jars with clean boiling water, leaving 1 inch headspace.

5) wipe the rims of jars, remove bubbles and place on seal and ring.

6) place jars in the warm canner.

Cold Pack Canning( Raw Canning)

1) First clean the jars fully.

2) Snapped the raw beans.

3) No pre-cooked.

4) Pack them down pretty much tightly into the jars.

5) Cover with boiling water, leaving 1-inch headspace. 

NOTE: Whichever method you are using, after filling the jars you must remove the bubbles into the jars. Press the beans tightly to remove the air from the jars.

6) In both methods you use canning salt according to your taste. Some people do not like to add salt but I like to add salt because salt enhance the taste and then remove the bubbles from the jars by using plastic knife and whatever you want.

7) After filling wipe the rims of jars and cover the jars. Before covering with lead must clean the rims of jars first.

8) In the end place the jars in the pressure canner. And set the pressure according to your attitude or according to the mentioned instructions on the pressure canners.
