How to Home Can Green Beans (2022)

[@maryannbergeron9531]

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!!! ❤️👏

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

Thank you so very much for your kind comment! It made my week brighter!

[@sunshinerose5831]

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! ❤❤

One of my fondest memories is sitting on my Granny's back porch snapping and destringing green beans. 🥰

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

That’s wonderful!

[@jennyrogers2070]

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

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.

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

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!

[@WillowsGarden]

@@MennoniteFarmhouse I totally understand, I just felt so bad for him.

[@lindaedwards9756]

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 .

[@TheRhonda1957]

Luann just found your channel. I love seeing how others can. What is that you have holding rings?

[@ElliesDonna14]

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.

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

I never have done it. I had to look up what you meant. Lol I was so lost. Thanks for teaching me something new.

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. :(

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

You can do it! You just need to get over the fear!

The deer are eating my green beans this year! So no beans to can. But I did can 14 quarts of tomatoes today!

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

Wonderful!

[@dianatennant4346]

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

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

I so want green beans, potatoes and ham for supper! I love that meal!

[@leslieyounkin5338]

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?

[@barbaraharrold5361]

I just stumbled on your video :) I have a question for you ??? Do you have to use a pressure cooker? I see this was a year ago so maybe you won’t see this:) God bless:)

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

I use a pressure cooker because it will get up to 264f compared to the water bath canner at 212F, with that being said. I believe pressure canning is safer than water bathing. I will hold any body’s hand to encourage them to learn to pressure can. It’s too much work to do not to do it the safe way in my eyes. Plus its quicker and save electricity.

[@jamiescountryliving]

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.

[@wtb61]

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.

[@wtb61]

I should have added to boil them 10 minutes, no less.

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

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.

can you show how to can smoked sausage?

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

I think it’s not been tested save to can sausage that’s been smoked or it needs a longer processing time than sausage. I personally don’t care for home canned sausage, it’s a textural and taste thing for me. My mom canned it when I was young.

[@jamesvatter5729]

Glad you mentioned not wiping the rim with vinegar. If all you are putting in is water, it seems unnecessary.

[@sandrahankins8488]

I don't use vinegar either

[@Sur5r1]

I watched another Mennonite Channel and she adds zinc tablets with her green beans to help them retain that bright green color they have (EDIT; even after pressure cooking or water bath method - end edit). She also said you can't taste the zinc and it doesn't change the taste of the green beans, all 8 of her children like them! I will try adding that in my next green bean canning session. She said she uses 50-100 mg. zinc per quart. I enjoy watching your channel too. New subscriber!

That’s up to you! I safely can food because it’s the safest way to process them and kill bacteria. Water bathing foods that are low acid never get above 212F but when you pressure can temperature can reach between 240-250F depending on how much PSI.

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.

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

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.

Brings back memories of standing in a chair beside my granny at the sink snapping green beans. 💜
