I got two half bushes boxes just like this - for a total of $17.
Canning green beans is as easy as washing and trimming them.....
These long beans were a breeze to trim. No one grows them like our Amish neighbors.
Cutting them into one inch pieces......and then pressure canning them.
Seven quarts fit into my pressure canner - yesterday I had both of my canners going.
Easy peasy and we'll have green bean goodness for the rest of the year. From that bushel I got 14 quarts of beans then I gave away, had for dinner, or blanched and froze the rest of them. I understand from a canning professional that I would have gotten 21 quarts per bushel if I would have processed all of them.
Looks to be a frost tonite - don't forget to take up the last of your tomatoes!
So we were both canning beans today, only you had more beans and I have pears, gardening and sausage to make.
