The processing time given applies only to young, tender pods. Beans that have almost reached the "shell-out" stage require a longer processing time. Add 15 minutes for pints, 20 minutes for quarts.
Type: Vegetables| 2 lbs | 908g / 32oz | Green beans per quart jar |
| Salt - (optional) |
Prepare Ball brand or Kerr brand jars and closures according to manufacturer's instructions.
Wash and rinse beans thoroughly. Remove string, trim ends and break or cut freshly gathered beans into 2-inch pieces. Place beans in a large saucepot and cover with boiling water; boil 5 minutes. Pack hot beans into hot jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to each pint, 1 teaspoon salt to each quart, if desired.
Carefully ladle boiling water over beans, leaving 1-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles with a nonmetallic spatula. Wipe jar rim clean. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met -- fingertip tight.
Process pints 20 minutes, quarts 25 minutes, at 10 pounds pressure in a steam-pressure canner. For elevations higher than 1,000 feet, increase pressure accordingly following cooker manufacturer's recommendation.
