How to Home Can Green Beans (2022)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- Home canning green beans is a wonderful way to preserve their freshness and enjoy them throughout the year. To begin, make sure you have fresh green beans that are free of any blemishes. Wash them thoroughly and trim off the ends.
Next, prepare your canning jars by washing them with hot, soapy water and sterilizing them in boiling water. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the green beans for a few minutes to help retain their color and texture.
Once blanched, pack the green beans tightly into the jars, leaving some headspace at the top.
Prepare your canning water, in a separate pot and bringing it to a boil. Pour the hot liquid over the green beans in the jars, making sure to remove any air bubbles.
Finally, secure the lids on the jars and process them in a pressure canner according to the recommended time for your altitude. Once processed, allow the jars to cool and check that they have sealed properly.
Your home-canned green beans are now ready to be stored in a cool, dark place until you're ready to enjoy them. They make a delicious addition to soups, stews, salads, and side dishes, providing a taste of summer all year long. Happy canning!I will show you how I can green beans from garden to jar. I love to preserve my food fresh as it gets.
I follow the instructions from the National Center for food home preservation guidelines to ensure food safety and integrity. I always use a pressure canner to home can my home grown bean and never use a water bath canner for low acid foods.

I love your demonstration and explanation about measuring for headspace on the canning jar. I am planning on canning green beans this year so your video has been a blessing. Thank you!!! ❤️👏
Thank you so very much for your kind comment! It made my week brighter!
Thank you for teaching me how to can green beans. My Mom was an alcoholic and a drug addict so now that Im older Im retracing my steps on how to be a good Christian house wife. I was never taught how to do most things. Im learning how to cook at the moment. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos! Thank you! ❤❤
This comment was very heartfelt. YOU are the reason I do RUclips! If you ever have questions, please feel free to email me. I am here for my Proverbs 31 women!
One of my fondest memories is sitting on my Granny's back porch snapping and destringing green beans. 🥰
That’s wonderful!
Brings back memories with my grandma and mom and brothers sitting in the side yard of grandmas doing beans from the garden...they had a huge one...once all done with the canning of them grandma would make a huge pot of new potatoes and green beans with bacon for supper..I am 68 yrs old now I remember it well
That sounds delicious! I'm sure you have wonderful memories!
I've been canning for over 60 years. I so enjoyed watching this! You are a great teacher. Blessings
Thank you for the very kind words! I appreciate you!
‘Pound them like someone owes you money’ 😂 Love your personality 💖
G'day LeAnne.
So this is what I have BEAN waiting for. 😁
OK, back to it.....
Take care.
Daz.
Lol 😂
G'day again LeAnne.
Good stuff and "shark in the ocean" was the best line in the video. 😁
Take care.
Daz.
Yes we gotta be safe from those sharks!
Excellent!!
I remember doing this with my grandma. I love your video!
I’ve enjoyed your video can’t wait to get started
Thank you for sharing
You got this Tammy!
Great video memory. Thank you 💕
Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial! I love your sense of humor! Looking forward to more canning videos!
Thank you so very much Lauren!
Very well done video! Thank you.
Thank you too!
I was just starting a run of green beans from the garden when your video popped up. It was like I had a friend in the kitchen with me! Thanks
Wonderful!
Thank-you so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Wow! Amazing!!!
Thank you!
Just found this channel. I have family that are Wisler Mennonite. I always call them when I need canning advice. Glad to see your channel.
Welcome! I’m so glad you are here! I’m a member of Mid Atlantic Mennonite
I so enjoy your presentation. Clear, thorough, and happily entertaining!
Thank you!
Awesome loving the new format too hun it's great :D
Who knew a small tripod is all I needed? Lol
@@MennoniteFarmhouse bless yah lol I know what you mean xox
Those look great!
Thank you!
This is the best video I've seen yet! Very thorough and easy to understand! Thank you for taking the time to record this!!
Thank you Krystal! This comment made my day!!
My mom and I, and sometimes my brother snapped a million Blue Lake green beans every summer around the kitchen table. The conversations we had during that time were about family history, funny things in our early childhood and my mom's big pioneer ranching family who arrived in this county when the closest general store was a 70 mile round trip with a swift buggy horse.
I wouldn't trade those days of snapping beans for anything. We put up at least 150 quarts each year. We had them at least twice a week, the rest were for insurance in case we lost the crop next year. I'm thrilled my own two children had the privilege of sitting around that same kitchen table snapping green beans with us. I firmly believe it builds character.
Thanks for sharing that wonderful story and I agree. My parents would do a 100 quarts of them a year and along with sweet corn, peaches and sour cherries.
Great video. I loved that you explained all of the questions I was wondering and now I have them answered. THANK YOU!!!😉
Glad it was helpful!
My green beans are just starting to come in. I picked a small batch last night, but nothing like your wonderful harvest. I like to watch a video every year, as a refresher.
Thank you!
Thank you for this very informative video!! Just found your channel & subscribed!!
Welcome Andi! I’m so glad you are here and enjoy the content of my channel!
I grew up with family canning green beans, bleaching and freezing. I didn’t get that many green beans this season. I am planting Fall crops I love fresh green beans. I wished I learned quilting. I joined a quilting group 25 years ago but never learned had a new baby. Happy Anniversary soon! I hope you have a blessed day! Wendy❤️🐞
Thank you!
You're awesome!! Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your videos!!❤️
Thanks Tracy! I’m going Live tomorrow evening… wish me luck!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse you'll do great, as usual!! I hope I don't miss it!❤️
Wonderful video. You explain everything so simply & easily. Your jars of green beans looked gorgeous.
Thank you so very much Linda!
Thank. I love to watch you canning. Never done any canning myself.. Truth be told it looks 😊
Thank you Mary!
What beautiful green beans! Well done, friend 💗
Thank you!
Love the canned beans, LeAnne. We had to restock again this year.
I hope you had a harvest from your garden!
I just finished canning some green beans last week. Your garden beans look beautiful. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Chris!
Great demonstration and explanation of the different steps to can green beans. Nicely done. ❤️
Thank you Arielle!
Hi LeAnn! I love green beans and just canned some about two weeks ago. I canned them in beef broth, I love the depth of flavor it gives to the green beans.
You did an excellent job demonstrating and explaining how to can green beans.
I can remember breaking beans with my grandmother and great grandmother when I was a wee tike.
I didn’t know if you’ve heard about the Feds raiding an Amish gentleman’s farm in Pennsylvania I think, this was so disturbing.
Have a blessed day and I’m praying for all the farmers and families.
Yes I heard about the Miller’s farm being raided in Lancaster. I wish I could publicly give my opinion on social media but I’m sure I would be censored.
I love adding dehydrated onion to my beans when I open the jar to serve. God Bless you and yours!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse I totally understand, I just felt so bad for him.
I’ll bet that is good. I add broth, salt, pepper and Evoo when I heat mine up . I switched from bacon or fat back a while back. Even though I’m southern thru and thru I like them just as well and the olive oil is a healthier fat .
Luann just found your channel. I love seeing how others can. What is that you have holding rings?
Great video
Thank you for the very kind words!
Brings back memories of standing in a chair beside my granny at the sink snapping green beans. 💜
Great Memories!
Thank you so much for this expert detailed video. You are a true joy to listen to and watch. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you so much!
Very nice video you are a great canner I am new to your channel. When I was a little girl I helped my mom do canning all summer long so that in the winter we would have food to eat.
Thank you! I don’t know how I missed your comment 8 months ago. My parents said the same thing we are getting ready for winter.
Look at those beans! Really appreciate this one, LeAnne. Especially showing how the steady stream should look. My first memory regarding canning was shelling English peas. Not too exciting when you are four years old but I do love peas. Thanks for the pressure canning vid.
Thanks Joy!
Excellent demonstration!!!! Simple, to the point and a nice voice. You look like a sweet little homemaker. Thank you!
Thank you Joan for the very kind words!
Hello love your videos, greatings from Sweden
Glad you like them!
They look like Blue Lake green beans. No strings and beautiful!💕
Thank you because my husband just planted what the Mennonite farm store had in stock. 🙄 these are the nicest beans we have had. My mom prefers strike.
Thank you for sharing. I'll be canning my first batch of the year this afternoon, only I do a hot pack. I feel like I can fit more in the jar that way. 😊
Absolutely!! Yes if you hot pack you do get more in the jar.
Thank you! 😎👍🏻
You bet!
Great video ..thank you
Thank you! Enjoy canning!
Oh thank you very much for putting up this video!! They look beautiful. I know how to pack the green beans now, properly 😊 yes, I leave the little tail thingy on too. Thank you much. Hope you have a blessed wonderful day.
I was doing the exact same thing yesterday as well! Canning a loaf of green beans.
i have never done canning but you make it look so easy.
It is easy! People are just scared to try new things!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse i am not affraid i have helped gma do it before and know it takes all day and to buy all of that equipment that i know i would never use more than maybe one or two times. we are way too busy with the business. but i love that some people know how to do it and have time. i know many people who do it several times a year.
Glad I found your channel! New subscriber!
Welcome! I’m so glad you are here!
OH I hit so excited when this video popped on in my search. I thought it was new. Then I realized… wait a second, I still have older videos to watch to catch up. Moral of the story? I MISS YOU! 😂😂😂😂
Excited to can my first vegetable garden this year ❤ havent done it since i was a child with Mom
Yay! You got this!
I am getting ready to can our green beans from our garden this year. Thank you for sharing this video.
Have fun!
You do not give yourself enough credit. What you do from start to finish is WORK ‼️
I probably don’t! I did 7 quarts of green beans today, all by myself, it started with me picking them.
This is exactly what I was looking for ❤❤❤
I’m glad I can help! Have a great time canning!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse im totally new at it and fearful of the canner. Do you have an instructional?
@@mariaroquavega5664 I try to walk you though using my canners when I’m pressure canning in each of my tutorials. Maybe I will work on demonstrating how to run as it’s on video.
Very good canning video. Brought back of some really good memories of having both grandmas there sometimes to help snap beans and Mom and us girls would wash jars and get things ready my one Grandma Mom like to have around to pack the jars because she could pack probably more beans in the jars than anybody else could it was much appreciated when you were opening the green beans later on in the winter and a few less jars also. Although at that time we always planted West Virginia half runners because they were the beans of choice in Mom's family but you had to string the darn things sometimes a lot but they produced All Summer Long from the time they started until almost Frost so you know you've got gives and takes. One of our go-to meals because we lived on a farm with ham and green beans and potatoes heavy on the green beans kind of light on the ham boiled up for quite a while on the top of the stove. Mom like to have at least 300 quarts of green beans and 300 quarts of miscellaneous tomatoes canned and most of the other things were just 100 quarts but we did a lot of canning and actually for quite a while had quite a bit of help from the Grandma's Mom was an RN and worked full time so the Grandma's pitched in and helped and of course us girls pitched in and my little brother's job he was younger than the rest of us was to kind of clean up and take out trash and feed scraps to the hogs or whatever and go from there. Good job as usual
I so want green beans, potatoes and ham for supper! I love that meal!
Your beans look beautiful and I am sure they will be a nice addition to your pantry shelves.
Thank you Cathy! They are very nice this year.
Hi LeAnn. I can still taste my grand mother’s green beans she’d can. I can’t duplicate. Knowing her there’s something she did that makes all the difference. Love her but she was that way. I was one of the younger grandkids she didn’t do a lot of canning around me. She made the best donuts. Oh how she could cook. Nice memories. Have a Blessed Day
I bet her donuts were the best. I’m sure beans are genetically different from when your grandma was alive so maybe that’s why they taste different. God Bless!!
I remember snapping beans with Gram, all the grandkids gathered around helping. It’s not so much fun doing it alone but still worth the work to have them in your pantry
Doing it alone is dreadful! But it’s worth it
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!
I remember as a young girl snapping green beans with my grandma. I loved the popping sound....that's how she got me to sit still to help at 4 years old! Great memories! I love your channel and definitely have to spend more time looking back at your beginning videos! God bless you!!
Sounds like you had a wonderful childhood! Thank you so very much! God Bless you!
same
Awesome
☺️
I love green beans. I tried to grow some they never did anything and died, I am a new gardener so just learning I am in zone 10a and had a hard time, but I will keep planting. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Beans are finicky. They don’t like wet feet meaning the soil shouldn’t be damp or wet. They love hot weather.
Thank you so much! I'm new to this, my husband and I have decided to go the self sustaining route as soaring prices have become unreasonable. Your green beans video is the best by far.
I’m proud of you for trying something you have never done before! I’m glad my video is very helpful.
Your green beans look delicious, just like mine do.💖
Thank you! We definitely enjoyed them!
I love canning green beans
Me too!
Love it. I have already preserved 10 quarts and 8 pints of beans, with many more on the plants, waiting to be picked! We have also eaten many sautéed beans from what I’ve picked.
We have had 4” of rain this weekend so I can only imagine the growth I will have once it stops.
Send the rain this way, our farm is suffering from a drought.
LeAnne like you I used to do a lot of beans and meat in the pressure canner !!! When it jiggles I found for losing weight in the summer time I would keep time with my hips with the Jiggler !!! It was something I learnt from Presto workers as they tested the canners on out !!! My Husband worked at Presto so got to see how they tested them out same with toasters and fryers also !!!
I love this comment. I need to jiggle with the weighted piece!
Love your analogy with the beans being sharks or buoys!
Thanks!!
Mouse Toes is great been with her channel a long time.
Thanks 🙏👍
Thank you too
Muscle memory. As you do it, it gets faster and smoother. I think that's what you was saying?
I have trouble bending so next years green beans are gonna be pole beans.
I had to stop by for a visit after seeing you in chat the other day. I don't even remember which channel because I watch so many, LOL!
Have a good one 😊
our favorite thing to can! It's just two of us and we do at least 60 jars a year.
Same here! I wish I enjoyed picking them as I do canning them! I’m sure I have at least twice that in my cellar! I did 40 quart this week!
The beans look great! I'm jealous of all of you brave enough to do this.I have only done waterbath canning before.My mother used a pressure cooker when I was growing up but sadly not for canning. I have always been afraid of them. Only comfortable to use my Instapot. :(
You can do it! You just need to get over the fear!
Our beans are just starting to produce but they're going to explode soon. We'll be doing lots of jars soon! Great video LeAnne!
Thanks Rich! Your garden is beautiful!
Awesome! I’ve been on bean detail too!
Are we done yet!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse Not even close! You?
@@jeannedumphy6584 I’m done for now with beans, on to the beets, cabbage, carrots and who knows… lol 😂
@@MennoniteFarmhouse ❣️
We usually freeze our beans but I have canned already, just not often. And yes, we also leave the tails on. So I have 40 yrs experience freezing green beans. Hoping ours produce this year. Thanks for sharing!
My husband never had home canned green beans until he married me … that’s now all he wants!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse that's nice, esp since that's what you were used to.
Yaaassss SoilSista!! ❣️❣️
First to come help right?? i got another load on right now!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse if I didn't live so far away I would LOVE to come and help you! Pick, snap and can! Blessings on your day Kiddo from Holland, OH 🥰🌻🐛🌼 P.S. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!🥰💕
I just finished canning 2 bushels of green beans. My favorite veggie next to cabbage. I hope to get at least 200 jars done. I used them a lot.
Great work Rita! I use them a lot as well! I think had a bushel myself from one flush. I think the bugs are taking over. I like when we plant now for September for cool picking and canning.
@@MennoniteFarmhouse just did 2nd planting last week and already up. Got lucky and got rain.
"Pound you jar, like somebody owes you money", that cause me to laugh out loud. You just can't overstate getting the air out and head space!
Yes! Exactly! I’m glad I can make you laugh Cindy!
Love canning green beans! Leanne I use my dishwasher for storage!!! So no door is not a big deal to me!❤
Most of my neighbors use the dishwasher as a giant drying rack. They wash their dishes by hand, then let them dry in the dishwasher.
@@KellyS_77 that's what I do!
Mine finally got repaired on my birthday! I don’t use it as much but I’m thankful for it!
I've used mine as a drying rack or a bread box 😂
Good video I stopped useing salt in my food too. If we need it I add it when I cook but still not to often.
Exactly!!
Thanks, mine aren’t ready yet, but will be doing them for the first time this year.
Yay! You will do great!
Thanks
The deer are eating my green beans this year! So no beans to can. But I did can 14 quarts of tomatoes today!
Oh no! I don’t understand why or how the deer don’t get into my garden. I saw 2 8 point bucks and three doe in my yard the other night! That’s great about the Tomatoes Ginny!
Any chance you will be making a video on canning corn? Never canned corn before and a tutorial would be wonderful!
I wish, but I have like 80 quarts of corn from 16’. I haven’t done it since. We prefer it frozen.
Happy anniversary! May God bless you with many more wonderful years together!💖💍👰♀️🤵♂️
Thank you so much!!
100 quarts, WOW totally impressed
Thank you! I avg that most summers but I’m glad it’s not all in the same day.
@@MennoniteFarmhouse i will definitely follow your video to put up my beans next year. Thanks for sharing
Looks great! Just starting ours. Do you do all yours in quarts? I use pints but was thinking of doing quarts this year
I use to do them in 24 oz jars but since wide mouth are so expensive, I decided to go to quarts.
I just canned some green beans. My garden is not very big, so hoping I can get more from the local farmers market
Great job!
LeAnn do you string beans like the leather britches? I think I’m gonna do some this way this year. Always can them normally but want something different.
I never have done it. I had to look up what you meant. Lol I was so lost. Thanks for teaching me something new.
Great canning session. But for the newbies you didn't show (or even mention) cleaning your sink before putting cold water and green beans in. All my green beans died so I have replanted and just waiting now. My lettuce and cabbage hasn't done anything yet (except die). (been to HOT). Thank you for sharing.
Yours absolutely right! I forgot to mention that washing the sink is very important in every video! Thank you!
@@MennoniteFarmhouse you are the best. Thank you!
I can green beans every summer, we go through approx 25-30 quarts each year. I hot pack mine for the same reason, it’s how my mom did it . 😆
I might try hot pack some day just to see if I like it.
Awesome video, thank you for posting. I have a question regarding the pop you hear has the jars are cooling down. Besides the rim being dirty. What else could cause the lids not to seal.
Also why is it important to get all of the air bubbles out?
It’s important to get the air out so it seals properly to much air will cause it not to seal. It can also unseal if there is bacterial growing inside. Also the lid might not be the best quality, it’s possibly.
Thank you for the great video! Our green beans are producing beautifully this and I am inspired with a girl friend to can again after many years. A question can you say where you got your upright/stacking jar ring holder? Mine are in numerous bags and containers. Thank you
Thanks for watching…. It’s just a counter paper towel holder that I got from Tuesday’s Morning. It keeps me organized. I also keep some on a Pant’s hanger.
@@MennoniteFarmhouse awesome idea, and so easy and affordable. Thank you
Oh my! I would have to sit down to snap that many green beans.
In my mind, it takes longer to sit down. Maybe some day I will sit down lol
@@MennoniteFarmhouse I have a painful back so sitting down is a must for me.
@@mjackson780 I completely understand that, I had a slipped disc in my lower back over a decade ago. I’m so glad that I can stand most days. I wake up with back pain every morning.
I don’t have a ball canning book or manual to can any thing. 😅 gotta find one
I have them in my Amazon store front if that helps link is in the description box
Grandma took the ends off her string beans outside in her rocker, their chickens were free range and they got the bad ones and ends. Then washed her beans, inside, and filled and canned her beans. During the Depression.
Glad you mentioned not wiping the rim with vinegar. If all you are putting in is water, it seems unnecessary.
Leaane can you help me out? I have an amish recipe that I have been using for years now. It apricot zucchini jam. It uses apricot jello as the thickener. I am wondering if I could use the same recipe for pepper jelly/jam?
I doubt that it would work
Whenever cooking home-canned green beans, boil them first in an open sauce pan. Then proceed to season and cook as desired. Home canned green beans can harbor botulism and the parboiling is cautionary to kill any bacteria.
I should have added to boil them 10 minutes, no less.
This is the test and approved procedure for canning green beans nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_04/beans_snap_italian.html
Boiling any home canned food for ten minutes is unnecessary provided that the proper canning procedures where followed and the seals are sound.
Good afternoon Leanne
Good afternoon as I can more green beans!
