    I think maybe the length of time in the freezer matters. I'm guessing (and only guessing) that if you'd frozen them for 5 months rather than 5 days, the benefits of blanching would become apparent. Worth testing, in any event.

    My observation: Blanching is supposed to slow down the enzyme action that causes nutrient loss. Your experiment didn't cover that, so I would say to use the unblanched beans first. Regardless of taste without the nutrients, You might as well eat cardboard.

    It is good to let the water in the canner cool down for 20 minutes before removing from the Canner, or Water Bath. This prevents them bubbling inside the jar and the pressure having so much fluxuation. Just safer to let it cool inside the Water Bath or Canner either one for 10 - 20 minutes. Take the lid off too while the Water Bath or Canner is cooling down. This helps it speed the cooling process some as well.

    If you add only 5% Vinegar to the brine, you may need to use all vinegar and not add any water because water will dilute your brine to under 5% and your food will spoil. Be aware of this. 4% will not keep the food healthily.

      @Carmen-EnergyInMotion Hi there! We haven't tried them stored in sand as we cure our potatoes, then put them in our root cellar in a single layer in wooden boxes made from pine skids. I have read that you can store them in sand but haven't tried it ourselves. We have tried storing beets and turnips this way, and they did last a long time, so I'm sure potatoes would be the same. I hope that helps...thank you for watching and have a great night! 😊

    is it necessary to remove them from the stems, as they can be filtered out as or after the juice steams out?

      @atinacatskill6430 hi there! I have found that if I leave the stems on, you can taste them in the juice, that's why I like to remove them. I hope that helps..take care and have a great day!

    I was just about to prepare green beans for the freezer and after watching your video I opted not to blanch. Thank you for the time saver. First time reviewer. New subscriber.

    How much can you load in top pan

      @bernadetteellway5707 hi there! I fill the top pan as full as I can and then periodically check it and add more until my fruit is all juiced....or, you can do it in smaller batches and clean the pulp away in between each batch but that seems like a lot of extra steps to me lol!

    So nice to find another homesteading TH-camr from Ontario! We are in the southwestern part. I found your video looking for ways to keep carrots long term after our first good year of growing carrots. We are in clay so never had luck before, but raised beds have made all the difference. Thanks for sharing this helpful info. Subbed to your channel to follow along. 😊 ~ Cindy
