Green Beans

 I pressure my beans 20 minutes at 10lbs.  This takes time to figure out because every stove is different.  You have to adjust your heat until the weight jiggles a couple of times every minute.  I recorded it so you would know what it sounds like.

Green Beans

I pack my jars tight and cover with the water I blanched them in.  I leave head space to add about a tsp of table salt.  My canner holds four jars.

 

Greans Beans

I fill this wash pan about 3/4 full and cover with water.  I blanch them until they change color.
