Garden Variety Canned Beans

These beans are simply delicious -- our boys have nicknamed them "Singin' Beans" because they make you feel like singing when you eat them.

They are very nice to have on hand for quick veggies to add to a winter meal.


Garden Variety Canned Beans

Nip, wash & cut beans into inch long pieces. I like the look of green and yellow beans mixed in the jars.

Dice onions, green pepper & celery.

Place a spring or two of fresh dill in a quart jar. Fill to 3/4 with beans. Add:

1 tbsp. diced onions
1 tbsp. diced green pepper
1 tbsp. chopped celery
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Press down firmly and fill with more beans as necessary. Fill jars to within an inch from the top with hot water. Clean the jar rim thoroughly then place your snap lid and screw the ring on lightly. Place into a water bath canner. Add warm water to the canner to the shoulder of the jars. Bring slowly to a rolling boil and keep that rolling boil for 1.5 hours while turning the heat down slowly.

Use a pressure canner if you have one to cut down on processing time. Follow directions that come with your canner. We just prefer the texture of the finished product when it is done in the waterbath canner.
