Just canned some pint jars and about half of the 18 jars the water level has dropped down leaving 1 or 1 and a half inches of beans uncovered. I did have a minor amount of siphoning take place because the water had a little discoloration to it. Are those jars going to be safe for storage? Or should we consume them over the next few days? All the jars have a good seal, I can't pull the lids off.
Thank you so much love your videos. First time canning green beans and I had the 1 inch headspace but after pressure canning it went below the bean level. Is that ok? Do you know why it happened?
could be several factors. too much pressure. taken out of the canner too soon. it's a constant game canners have while canning to control their canner and get the perfect headspace.
I'm so happy many of you experienced canners are doing a lot of entry level videos. I see so many new folks in the chats looking for info and support. Green beans in pints was the very first thing I pressure canned. I sent pictures to everyone, I was so proud.
Dagney Taggart I have canned for a few years now, mostly meats and beans. I have never done green beans or tomatoes. I think I’ve gone about this backwards, but getting it done! I’m so grateful for videos like this
I would love to see a series like the last two videos you’ve made. I grew up in foster care, and didn’t have a “mom” to teach me anything like this, now I’ve been learning through TH-cam and love this. I have also been helping a few ladies in the neighborhood can. We have canning parties lol. This would be so helpful to all newbies. Thank you as always
The only thing that blanching accomplishes is it keeps them from floating in your jars. If these are going to the county fair, then blanch them. Otherwise, raw packing is fine.
Heather im 60 years old.i love your channel bc you teach new canners how to do canning.You would be surprised that the young people don't even know how to snap a green bean or shell pea's.but its great that we have someone like you to teach them.god bless you and your family.
Miss Heather thank you for the heads up about Country View Bulk Store. Went there today for wide mouth lids...only half sleeves left but picked up what I needed. Enjoyed the 2.5 hours one way as there were cds I wanted to listen to...win win in my book. Your patience in teaching us all things canning is such a blessing. Thanks ❤ Today is Aug 6th. Wide mouth lids were 30 cents each and reg was 26 cents each...do not know when you purchase..think the.receipt said the 3rd..tried to read it...you paid 22 cents for wide mouth and 18 cents for reg mouth. Up 8 cents a lid...ouch. But I have them.
You can do it! Green beans are a great first effort, or try carrots. No are easy to handle. You can raw pack the first time and consider hot pack once you're comfortable. Both are low cost vegies to start. I'd suggest using your first batch soon, to reinforce the knowledge that you are making something good. Once you have that confidence, you can start stocking your pantry.
I'm so with you on this Debra! I just got my first pressure canner last month. Mine is a Presto 23 quart, it was all I could find and the price was just right for me!! I'm so excited and nervous to get going!
@@rachalnocchi5600 I ordered and All American in July, but I have not had it as yet, but in the interim I saw a larger one available, so I bought that as well. I hope that the larger one will get to me (customs permitting, they seem to stop everything) so at least I can use it for my current produce, the 910 I ordered originally, is more suitable for me in all honesty, but needs must. I know that the lady on 'Homestead Heart' has uploaded a number of videos thus far using her Presto canner. She recently received an All American, so it could change from now on. She has canned a variety of produce and has quite an extensive playlist - if that helps. All the best and happy canning!
Heather, I do hope you are recovering well. I am about to attempt canning green beans for the first time, and immediately thought to look up your video! Continued thoughts and prayer for you and your family.
I’m catching up/binge watching your VLOGs, you have a bright spirit and easy-to-listen-to way of delivering the instruction. I’ve checked over your titles and I’m excited.
I’m very proud of you for doing these informative videos for new beginners. I kinda self taught myself by watch videos and just jumping in. Now I’m obsessed with canning all the things lol. It’s addictive. God bless you Heather. P.s. my chickens will not eat my green bean stems. Spoilt brats 🤣🥰🐓
I appreciate that very much, thank you! hahahaha some snub mine too! same with carrots! and bread. some snub and some go hog wild for them! hahaha i never know who is going to like something or not. My rooster loves wild bird seed. LOL no one else but him! hahaha the only thing they all love is watermelon and meal worms. no one snubs those! LOL my chickens are prissy too!
Oregano essential oil is very effective to Carpal tunnel and it also helps arthritis too my husband’s hand is really bad with carpal tunnel and he uses oregano oil every day and it actually works well, he got the cortisone shot once and it only lasted three days then his hand started shaking really bad but now they don’t anymore because of the oregano essential oil just thought I’d share that with you or whoever has carpal tunnel 😁 I use Lipton onion soup mix for my green beans and my carrots and it’s so good! Canning is so much fun I really enjoy canning. Once you get passed the intimidation of pressure canning you will be just fine it’s just that first time doing it!
You are absolutely right, so many people did not grow up in a "canning household" especially not people in their 20s and 30s today! Thank you for providing easy to follow videos 🙏
I should have paid more attention back in the day when my Grandma was canning green beans cause they were the best tasting green beans ever. Have to say, the smell when she was canning green beans was super gross, though. Thanks so much for sharing!
How much water was in the canner when you added your jars of beans? Also is it ok to leave the ring on the completed jars? I’m afraid I’d do something to mess up the sealed flat with no ring to secure it?
In the All American Canner, it's 3 inches of water BEFORE placing the jars in. A Presto canner is different, and I don't own a Presto and can't remember what their water level is before canning, so that will depend on which canner you're using. I never keep my rings on. If your lid does come unsealed, and you have a band on it, it could falsely reseal, where as without a band, if a lid unseals, it will pop and you will begin to smell it after awhile in your pantry. Also, when processing food, the air evacuates out of the lid during processing. So your lid moves up and down and sometimes food particles will leak out of your jar. Without removing the bands and cleaning your jars after processing, those food particles can mold, causing your lid to pop. Also causing your rings to rust from trapped water. Now, if you are moving, bands can protect your jars as they are being transported, but if the jars are just simply sitting in my pantry, they are never on my jars. I do have a video addressing this topic, if it helps. th-cam.com/video/lnriWUIL8gQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Gsqr8TdEBv-MocsI
Wonderful green beans and i wish I had access to a good farm stand that sells really fresh produce but i find here in N.W. Florida that right now its not cheap just better tasting to can your own and know what is in there. The prep is very important and clean up too, Smashing canning vid Heather xx How's your sister doing ??.
ugh. so sorry to hear your prices are high! Melanie is doing great! Her and her family just spent the weekend here two weeks ago.....we just swam and grilled all weekend! it was so much fun. haha
Thank you for taking the time to share your process. The one good thing that I had growing up was that we had a garden and small animals like chickens, pigs, goats, and rabbits. Also that my parents canned food so I was able to learn from them. My father was a fantastic cook he learned a lot of his skills being in the military, so I was able to watch him and learned to cook from scratch. Not everyone was raised this way so this make me great full that I learned these skills and that my parents gave me the opportunity to have the knowledge of preparation. Thank you again for the knowledge you are sharing to us all!
A fellow Heather! I just found your canning vids last night and been binge watching. My mom canned my whole life, but she never actually taught us kids to do it. I kind of got the jist of it as I watched, but never actually 'participated' in the canning process. Her canner looks exactly like yours, though she got her's decades ago. As I was watching your other vids, I was listening to you and thinking, "She's a MIchigander!" as many of you have a certain accent (very similar to Canadians). Now, in this vid, you confirmed my suspicions!! No worries, I love Michiganders...I'm married to one!! I'm an Ohioan (yes, one of those evil neighbors to the south...lol!!) Loving your canning vids and thank you for the wealth of canning info, as I'm preparing to delve into it as soon as I can get a pressure canner myself (they're expensive, especially right now!).
Wow Heather, I literally canned green beans for the first time yesterday(4/ one and a half pints). A small amount, but so rewarding. If I could have waited just one more day for you, lol.
Same here, I canned green beans for the first time in the wee hours of yesterday morning! lol I harvested about six pounds out of the garden the day before and was able to fill six quarts... Very rewarding.
I just recently found you and ran across your planner using Wendy Dewitt's ideas. Is there any way you can update it for us and share those recipes? I'm new at this and it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi. I also meant to tell you a girl I follow has dreads and the way she fixes and adds to them is unreal cute. Her name is katia n I will find her last name but you can find her easy. Does lots of the best dui projects and thrifring. Look her up !!! She’s a doll. Like you ! Deb Az
Oh, Heather! Guess who is getting back into the swing of things?! I'm buying 2 bushels, hopefully 4, this week! Most will be here at the house, a few to Dad and Max, and i'll be making some to sell (Daddy needs to make some money!) I'll be washing mine, outside, using (4) 18gal rope handled totes from walmart. I'll be putting holes in (2) of them, turning them into colanders so it makes it easy to wash/ rinse and strain them out! Pretty shary, huh? I'll be using this method for ALL my BIG future projects of veggies and possible fruits. =) anyway, it's really nice to go back and watch your videos to have a refresher as well as the books. Hope to hear from you! =)
I got green beans today!!! I have my Presto manual, USDA and Ball books out to finish studying. I'm listening. I don't know how many pounds or even know if it's a bushel of beans. Box said 30 lbs, store rang up 8.62 lbs. Weighed myself then w/box 11.5. Weighed box 22.5 lbs. How many jars do I need? Thank you in advance Kneady.
This is the best video. I am canning for the first time. And half runners are my favorite. We have a whole bushel. And it is a lot of work preparing them. I am excited to can.
I can't wait until I have access to fresh produce. Your green beans look amazing. I would can my veggies in pints because I'm the only one who eats their veggies. My husband's favorite food group is dessert. 😊🥰
Thank you for your honesty, you have eased my mind about water bath canning my green beans. Your video is very informative and easy to follow, my wife and I just got done trying this for the first time! Thanks again!
Can you share how you know the how long to pressure can each item/per size container? I’m also in MI and just started canning. I’m worried I didn’t properly can my tomatoes:/ I did quart jars for 10 min once it got steaming with a 5 pound weight
Excellent video thank you so much for putting this up. I have never done green beans so you showing us step by step from beginning to end was easy to understand. Much gratitude to you little Mamma 😃
How much water is suppose to be in the canner when you put jars in to begin processing? I can never tell by looking and most videos don’t address that. Thanks!
The first thing I ever canned was green beans. I've only canned two things Lol. I haven't eaten any of it but I will make a chicken pot pie for the first time this week and use a jar of green beans. I shouldn't worry because what could be the worse that can happen? I have to throw it out thats all 😊. God Bless. 🙏❤
I am a guy canning been canning for a while and came across this one tired it with your recipe it was good. I also added my cajun seasoning to it and when it was time to eat wow made it better so thanks. Dont hurt to add new things. Your site was helpful thank your keep up the great work
Heather, it is so very nice of you to go through all these steps and explaining each step to everyone especially beginners. I’m sure you inspired everyone and you know what to say to make them calm and not intimidated. God bless you my friend. You are awesome! 👍👍❤️❤️🧡🧡🌻🌻🌻🥰🥰🥰
How do you know when they are done growing? Mine are velvety but look to be full size. I don’t know if I should wash them and hope the fur feeling comes off or if they need to grow more?
I wanna answer from the videotape her person here. I am wondering I cut mine up so they are called French green Beans and would it make a difference if I blanch them first or just raw pack him is there a big difference? Please get back to me
I have two bushels of green beans to can tomorrow and I’m just not feeling up to it. My former partner/Sergeant was killed today, I’m heartbroken and not in the mood to deal with canning. ☹️😢
The Kneady Homesteader thank you, it was a nice distraction to have my sister in law can all day with me. Kept my mind and hands busy. 85 pints of green beans. 😱 feels like I need to cut off my feet. 😳🙄😊
I'm trying to convince myself that pressure canning wouldn't be scary, even though just the thought of it scares the bejeezus out of me. lol Is there any chance you will do a video on candy apple jelly?
do not fear pressure canning, it's safer than water bath canning and easier! hahaha I don't have plans on that jelly this year, I am making caramel apple pie jam for the kids but honestly, just make apple jelly from juice and add red hot cinnamon candies to it!!!!! thats it! it's so simple. :D
I never had fresh green beans as a kid either, which is probably why I only like canned green beans. I will admit the ones I can are better than store bought though :) Even though I am not a beginner canner I love to watch all the canning videos, it helps get me motivated to get off my butt and can something, especially when its summer and I'm hot and don't want to lol. Its easy to be motivated to can in January when its cold and the air is dry and a little steaming up of the kitchen is a nice thing.
hahaha canning vids help motivate me too! Sometimes I get stuck in a rut, all I need is a spark of inspiration. I am honored I could be yours. HAPPY CANNING, Sis!
You are very inspiring. And it does help to see how you get to where you start canning and even after the process. We are all trying to learn. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your skills and your canning philosophy! I’m a new canner and have been binge watching your videos. The care you take shows your love for food and family! Thank you for all you do! 🙂

Could I use raw onions with the peppercorns?
Hoping to do find bulk green beans. My bean plants are growing like 7 to 12 beans per day.
I love your videos. I just found your channel. Can you tell me what you use to clean your sink before adding your beans. Thank you!
GREAT video Heather!!!
Please put the recipe on your links. Love your videos.
So question raw packing would be cold jar cold water correct ?
I found green beans at the store for .98¢/lb
I thought it was a pretty good deal so I got 4 pounds to pressure can!
Just canned some pint jars and about half of the 18 jars the water level has dropped down leaving 1 or 1 and a half inches of beans uncovered. I did have a minor amount of siphoning take place because the water had a little discoloration to it. Are those jars going to be safe for storage? Or should we consume them over the next few days? All the jars have a good seal, I can't pull the lids off.
It should be fine but use those jars up first. 👍🏻 Not immediately they should be just fine!
@TheKneadyHomesteader
Ok good thanks.
Thank you so much love your videos. First time canning green beans and I had the 1 inch headspace but after pressure canning it went below the bean level. Is that ok? Do you know why it happened?

The Kneady Homesteader awesome! I’m going to enjoy each of them
I wish there were canning parties near me!
The only thing that blanching accomplishes is it keeps them from floating in your jars. If these are going to the county fair, then blanch them. Otherwise, raw packing is fine.

You can do it! Green beans are a great first effort, or try carrots. No are easy to handle. You can raw pack the first time and consider hot pack once you're comfortable. Both are low cost vegies to start.

I love your sink stopper! Where did you get it, please?
I think it came with the sink when we bought the house, but with my brain injuries, I honestly don't remember!
How much water do I put in the canner when pressure canning please?
Every canner is different but for the all american its 3” of water.
I love this video. These things ARE NOT common sense if you’ve never been around canning. Thanks for doing it.
Absolutely! I am so glad this was helpful to you!🥰
Oh man my fave thing to can! Sharing all the the prep work for canning is such a great idea!

hahaha we are all canning them together! thats awesome!!!!
Do you start the canner on high heat or medium to bring to pressure ?
When I am loading it, it's on very low....then once I get the lid on and we get rollin, I turn it to high!
Thank you, thank you for this video!
what is the pound for green beans in California
it would vary depending where in Cali you live because of your mountain areas. Type into good where you live and elevation and it will pop up for you!
I just recently found you and ran across your planner using Wendy Dewitt's ideas. Is there any way you can update it for us and share those recipes? I'm new at this and it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for posting this video. I’m new to gardening and canning. I’m also slightly terrified of my pressure cooker 😃
Ok so I after I Canned & cooked my beans, I noticed I lost water out of the jars! What did I do wrong?
How much water did you
Lose?
@@TheKneadyHomesteader almost 1/2
How much water do you use in your pressure canner?
in my All American it's 3" of water. your other canners will be different.

We grow our own because I love to bottle younger green beans. They are so so wonderful when picked and bottled on the small side!
Can you share how you know the how long to pressure can each item/per size container? I’m also in MI and just started canning. I’m worried I didn’t properly can my tomatoes:/ I did quart jars for 10 min once it got steaming with a 5 pound weight
Excellent video thank you so much for putting this up. I have never done green beans so you showing us step by step from beginning to end was easy to understand. Much gratitude to you little Mamma 😃
How much water is suppose to be in the canner when you put jars in to begin processing? I can never tell by looking and most videos don’t address that. Thanks!
The first thing I ever canned was green beans. I've only canned two things Lol. I haven't eaten any of it but I will make a chicken pot pie for the first time this week and use a jar of green beans. I shouldn't worry because what could be the worse that can happen? I have to throw it out thats all 😊. God Bless. 🙏❤
I wash my beans before cutting them up. I would think they would get soggy by washing them after cutting them up.
I am a guy canning been canning for a while and came across this one tired it with your recipe it was good. I also added my cajun seasoning to it and when it was time to eat wow made it better so thanks. Dont hurt to add new things. Your site was helpful thank your keep up the great work
if I missed it, apolozise...but do you pull the string from your bean to get rid of the string?

Heather, it is so very nice of you to go through all these steps and explaining each step to everyone especially beginners. I’m sure you inspired everyone and you know what to say to make them calm and not intimidated. God bless you my friend. You are awesome! 👍👍❤️❤️🧡🧡🌻🌻🌻🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, I'm new to canning. Your video was so helpful, hugs
I do know how to can and still really enjoy and learned from this video. It's a perfect refresher before harvest time.
Do you use your tattler lids anymore? I don't see them in the videos. I'm considering getting some since I can't find regular button lids. thoughts?
How do you know when they are done growing? Mine are velvety but look to be full size. I don’t know if I should wash them and hope the fur feeling comes off or if they need to grow more?
I wanna answer from the videotape her person here. I am wondering I cut mine up so they are called French green Beans and would it make a difference if I blanch them first or just raw pack him is there a big difference? Please get back to me
Can someone help I need to know what my gauge should be at. I live at 692 ft. Above sea level. Thank you
What was the solution you put in the jars? Just boiling water? Or a mixture of vinegar?
I have two bushels of green beans to can tomorrow and I’m just not feeling up to it. My former partner/Sergeant was killed today, I’m heartbroken and not in the mood to deal with canning. ☹️😢
i am so very sorry :(
The Kneady Homesteader thank you, it was a nice distraction to have my sister in law can all day with me. Kept my mind and hands busy. 85 pints of green beans. 😱 feels like I need to cut off my feet. 😳🙄😊
You are a great teacher.
Got a question, why haven’t you took off the strings before you snapped off ends?
I'm trying to convince myself that pressure canning wouldn't be scary, even though just the thought of it scares the bejeezus out of me. lol Is there any chance you will do a video on candy apple jelly?
do not fear pressure canning, it's safer than water bath canning and easier! hahaha I don't have plans on that jelly this year, I am making caramel apple pie jam for the kids but honestly, just make apple jelly from juice and add red hot cinnamon candies to it!!!!! thats it! it's so simple. :D
I love you. Ilove to learn from you
I love you too🥰
Healing prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏🌻🌻❤️
Yummy,.do you ever do yellow wax beans? If so, do you add the pepper and onion to those also?
I have! I did a mix last year of green and yellow. they were so pretty in the jars! I think I just added peppercorns and canning salt to those.
Very nice, informative, video. You do an excellent job of teaching folks who have never canned before. Keep doing what you are doing! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much!
I never had fresh green beans as a kid either, which is probably why I only like canned green beans. I will admit the ones I can are better than store bought though :)
Even though I am not a beginner canner I love to watch all the canning videos, it helps get me motivated to get off my butt and can something, especially when its summer and I'm hot and don't want to lol. Its easy to be motivated to can in January when its cold and the air is dry and a little steaming up of the kitchen is a nice thing.
hahaha canning vids help motivate me too! Sometimes I get stuck in a rut, all I need is a spark of inspiration. I am honored I could be yours. HAPPY CANNING, Sis!
Zinc keeps the bright color
Why don’t you want “floating” of your green beans?
"Whoops! I forgot to add our ingredients!" ~relatable
Thank you this video answered my questions
You said 1/4 tsp salt on one jar and 1/2 tsp salt on another. Does it matter?
💚😇🌻

You are very inspiring. And it does help to see how you get to where you start canning and even after the process. We are all trying to learn. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing your skills and your canning philosophy! I’m a new canner and have been binge watching your videos. The care you take shows your love for food and family! Thank you for all you do! 🙂
