Well, I canned green beans for the first time tonight. It was easier than I ever imagined and I got a lot of yield that I can't wait to tuck into when we have three foot of snow outside.
Step 1.
Make your kids and husband break their backs picking green beans; We got just under 1/2 bushell but a little more than 1/3. It came to three dollars = Bargain.
Clean the rims and then place the lids on
Put on the rims, make them tight but not too tight. Easy to get off. Place in your pressure canner and follow directions. Processing time is 20 minutes but its best to do some reasearch about your OWN pressure canner. I don't want to be held responsible for lost limbs.
Canned green beans, super easy.

Step 2 - Top and Tail, wash and cut your green beans. Canning them whole is fine too. I was using pint jars so had to chop them. If I was using quarts, I would have kept them whole. At this point its best to grab a beer, Canning under the influence!
Wash your Jars and lids, I raw packed so sterilized my jars, put in the cold green beans, half a teaspoon of salt (full teaspoon for quarts) and hot water, leaving 1' of headspace.
