Canning Green beans:

I prefer to blanch and hot pack so as to fit more green beans in my jars.
Pack hot jars full of green beans, leaving 1-inch of head space
Add 1/2 t salt to pints, 1 t to quarts
Top with boiling hot water (I use my blanching water)
Apply lids & rings and process pints at 10 PSI for 20 minutes and quarts at 10 PSI for 25 minutes

I'm Steph, wife of John & mom of 4 living on a 5th generation homestead. My husband's great-grandparents bought this farm in rural Missouri in 1942. My husband was supposed to take the farm over after high school - but he decided to go a different direction and moved out on his own. At that time he said he'd never get married or have kids. But here we are - 4 kids later and back on the farm. I grew up in town - so farm life has been a new adventure for me and I absolutely love it. I'm learning as I go and opting out of as many broken systems as I can along the way. We've lived here almost five years now, we homeschool our kids here, raise and grow more of our own food all the time, and our last baby was even born here on the farm - my first home birth. Learn with me as I share glimpses into our life on the farm.
