Back to beans again...
Green beans, string beans,snap beans or whatever you want to call them, they are popular.
Trim the blossom end and the stem end off. Either cut or just snap them off.
Easiest way to pack them into the jars is to cut them up into pieces an inch or so long. You can try to pack them whole but it's time consuming and I find it frustrating. Quarts seems to work best for us.
Pack raw into the clean jars and fill with water to an inch from the top. Some people add a tablespoon or two of lemon juice to the jar first, but it's not necessary. Process for a half hour at 10 psi.
Mixing a quart of the beans with a pint of our canned ham makes a quick and tasty meal.
