Pickle beans are like Gold in these here hills ! You were taught so well. So very proud of you ! You are a walking encyclopedia of our Mtn ways. Thank you Justro !
I never thought about the moon signs to affect the fermentation. Thanks for the many lessons. I just bought my first crock I'm 60 years old. I guess you're never too late to learn something new. Blessings to you and the girls.
I would love to see a video that explains how the signs on the calendar work in various aspects of gardening, animal husbandry, and yes canning. I find this fascinating, as my father and grandfather did many things by this method. I wish I had learned as a child thank you for the
Thank you for passing this information on to others. My mother always followed the signs with those same guidelines. I remember her telling about a neighbor making kraut with her daughter helping and all the kraut spoiled because it was the wrong time of the month for the daughter to have hands in the process. It was wonderful to hear you sing that old song and you sounded great! You deserve to have a very successful channel and I hope it happens! Glad you are feeling better. I had the big C the first of July and still have a lingering cough and low energy. Lots of people seem to be slow getting back to normal. May God bless your endeavors.
Hey Justro… thanks for all your hard work to show us how to pickle your beans. It was interesting as I’ve never seen it done in a crock only heard about it. I put up cucs for pickles in a canner and that’s all the pickling I’ve ever done. I have to tell you I sure enjoyed your singing!! I’ll probably keep going back to this video just to hear you sing ! God has blessed you with many talents!! Iam so glad I found your channel… you are a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. Praying for our Lords blessing on you and your girls !!!
My momma wouldn't let me touch anything to be preserved when it was that time of the month, but she was very serious about when she was making sourkraut. We also planted, preserved, and went by the signs for many other things like have teeth pulled or weening a baby. I still practice these. These are things that were passed down in our family through the generations.
My, my, my, I LOVE your rendition of that haunting mountain song!❤️ And the outdoor sounds as you snap the beans… Back door open? The churn and crock are beautiful Justin. To envy. ( The pickled beans look so good. Grape leaves are also wonderful to put up for the winter and used for Greek dolmas, stuffed grape leaves, also yummy.)
Excellent video, Justro! My Granny Martha used to pickle green beans and corn. She knew how much I loved it and even when I was grown and living in other states ((USAF), if I visited her, she'd go to shelves at the end of her kitchen that had pretty flour sack coverings, pull 'em back and give me a quart jar. I never saw her making them, so your video was really special to me! This granny was grandpa Jack's wife (from the sled & shakes pics.) My other Grandma, Josie, who I lived next door to growing up made kraut. I remember one time she, mother, my aunt, and I were out in the yard with a big cabbage harvest, knives, kraut choppers, and crocks. As we all stood around the big work table, Grandma said, "Now, before we start, if any of you girls are having your monthly, you absolutely CANNOT help, 'cause the kraut won't "make" if you touch it!" They planted and went by the signs, too. I guess I remember that so distinctly because I was probably only about 12 yrs old and embarrassed. Keep up the good work. Prayers for your health and energy. 🙏🤠❤🙏
I was just discussing last night with my husband about the “right signs” for canning and today I find your channel ‼️ Thank you, gonna try those pickled beans. They have got to be healthy for our gut, those probiotics ♥️
Justro you are a wealth of information and talent! I LOVED your song, I hope you teach those songs to the girls to keep passing them down to their children. I've never pickled beans before, but will plan to do so next season. Also those crocks are AMAZING!!
Tannin is what's in the grape leaves...it's in Blackberry leaves also. Helps to keep your vegetables crisp. Really enjoyed your song. Be safe you three.
Thanks for teaching me about pickling beans. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd like them, but I'll try anything once. My wife would probly love em.... Really liked hearing you sing that mountain song. I just knew you could probly carry a tune. Hope you have a restful Sunday and are able to grind out a productive week. May God bless you and your family and this great country we live in and enjoy. ❤️🇺🇲❤️
I don't know that I've ever had pickled beans. But, this sure does look good! I learn a whole lot by watching you pickle/can things. You've got a way of making it make sense. God bless you and thank you for sharing this with us.
Well, now I know what you was gonna do with those grape leaves! Ain't never had pickled green beans but I'm going to try it cause I already know I'm going to love them! I love quick pickled onions, cucumbers, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots and any vegetables pickled. You snapping those green beans brought back memories I learned from my mother. In Kentucky and Tennessee, we call it snapping beans. Love the Shelly's too! Anyway, I'll bet pickled green beans would go great combined with other companion vegetables. I'd sure like to see what your pickled green beans look like when they're ready to can. Thank you Justro 🥰
Lookin' at all those pretty green beans sure makes me want some "leather britches"....my Mamaw used to make them when I was little... I've not had them in so long
It's interesting watching different folks videos. Appalachian living, down south living, and even Cajun living... us southerners are a lot closer kin than we all realize. I think we all got some family that came through those hills. I know mine did.
Grape leaves have tannin in them, it helps to keep the ferment from getting mushy. :) You can use bay leaves and even oak leaves. But the grape leaves you can eat after if you want to. :D
I have starting fermenting this year and have enjoyed doing it. Thank you for all of the extra hints. Loved the singing along with the stringing of the beans. Virginia and Charlotte are two lucky little girls to have you as their father. Pass all this on to them. As an ole woman I remember all the little tidbits passed on to me by my mom and grandmother. God bless you Justro
Thank you for this Great video! I use to love my grandmas pickled succotash made with corn and Lima beans. I’m so impressed with your knowledge! You do such a fine job of explaining all the processes. Your beans look delicious 😋.
Thank you. You answered some questions I had concerning pickling , I did a jar of refrigerator pickles, and they turned out delicious. But now I know I can dot it for long-term storage. 😊
We call our mix pickles because we add cabbage, corn, green pepper, hot pepper to ours. Talking about good with pork chops and green beans. We also open the jar and eat right out of the jar. Good country food.
I remember my momma making pickled beans in the churn when I was a kid. She only did this a few times, and I was too little to get all the details. I remember that the beans were absolutely DELICIOUS and I loved them! I've searched for this method for probably a decade. I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful tutorial! Lord willing, I'll be making a batch next year!
Wonderful video Justro, thank you. You're a fine singer. I've fermented many fresh veggies in smaller jars without vinegar, topped with grape leaves &/or any other edible leaves I might have available. I've always wanted to try a crock method and wondered if I could ferment cooked veggies. Thanks for teaching all you do. I hope you show the final results once they're completely pickled, and I'd love to see any other pickling recipe videos. Pickled corn and beans sound so good. Onions and garlic might be yummy additions as well.
hey Justin. always good and a learning experience every time. question: could you show us one day how to make old timey kraut? enjoyed this one and look forward to the next one. thanks!
@@metcalfmills5679 love this, I just made my first quart of sauerkraut for this year. It turned out delicious. I staggered my cabbage out to ripen at various times so I can make small batches at a time. I’d love to know your method, Justro, as I have only been making sauerkraut the last few years. It’s always nice to get a lot of opinions/methods on food preparation, often I combine various tips and techniques together. I never liked the store bought kind and didn’t know I would like sauerkraut at all until I tried fermenting some myself and finally made a successful batch. I find I absolutely love a lot of fermented foods, but not cooked or heated so it keeps all of the gut bacteria and flavor.
Hey brother enjoyed the video. I always like the old ways of doing things. All my older family are are gone to be with the lord. And I am trying my first gardening in raised beds because I am limited on space. And enjoyed watching. God bless you and the girls. Always in my prayers
This is a great video on how to pickle beans, by the way they look yummy too! I have never pickled beans before so this was very informative! Thank you so much for sharing with us! I have used grape leaves for pickling cucumbers before, it is the tannic acid in the grape leaves that help keep them crisp.
Justflo, My grandma put a leaf in bottom of pickles. My mother pickled beans in jars, left lid very loose till it worked off. I made kraut in 5 gallon buckets using same brine as you.
As always, You are Joyful to watch and listen too. The other day , as I was listening to a video on a recipe on pickling they suggested to add grape leaves or Horseradish leaves. Because they have Tannic acid in them which causes the pickles to be firm, not soggy. I knew the grape leaves or cabbage leaves where used for a protection layer to keep air out of the brine. Didn't know what was in the pickle solution for firming up the pickles. I love hearing the Wise ways of of Elders. Had to go back to listen to your song it was interrupted by having to go get something in the other room. love your song, was that all of it or did you get interrupted by the finding of the Last Bean, Would love to hear all the words if they're more to it. Thank you ,Justro. The video with Charlotte and Penny on pickin pears was cute with (Penny doing the bumblebee dance) I wanted to send you the fruit picker from Amazon so you could finish harvesting the pears when you get back into the pears mode again. Children and Pets are precious GIFTS from OUR HEAVENLY FATHER!.
who in the world ever figured out to add grape leaves or any other kind of leaves for that purpose? this is ancient wisdom passed along and along down to us......if only we don't forget it
Mr. Justro, when I was a little girl, my folks were friends of Doc Watson. Doc sang that song to me (I was maybe 5-7 years old) and I’ve never known the name of that song. I’m in my sixties now. I think you must live somewhere around Boone, or know songs that were sung around Deep Gap where the Watson family was from, maybe? I really appreciate your knowledge of the old ways. Bless you and your family.
Howdy Justro- you’re a right smart young man. My wife uses the leaves off of muscadines in her pickling. Them gonna be awful good come winter. Take care and God bless y’all
I really like the pickled beans,but its been a while since I've eaten any,your demonstration makes me crave some soon.Something else I also enjoyed in today's video was that good singing Justro,another one of your hidden talents. Have a Good Holiday and Take Care Metcalf Family 🙂.
I love this recipe Justro. I hope they come out delicious. I can't wait to see more. I'm doing some kraut. And try some other stuff. Today raining cats and dogs I found some squash in the fridge dont have pie crust so I guess I'm making a trip to the store. I'm sure your cooking going to make me fat. Be safe we love uns . Your a blessing.
Justro, I knew it was some kind of pickling with the grape leaves, I never used them on beans before, but we have on cucumbers. You done a fine job of preparing the beans! You're right about the full beans...Do you want green beans or green hulls? Lol! It does make a lot of since to let the beans get full, it also fills more jars up when canning! Thanks Justro for all the good information, I am glad you paid attention to details when you were growing up, It sure is helpful today and all these little nuggets of information will sure come in handy for people that are willing to listen now and in the future. There lives may depend on growing and preserving food! Sure am glad I found your channel! Blessing to You and the Girls! Hope Charlotte is feeling better!
Those shelled beans reminded me of Mom's pasta e fagioli ( Italian for pasta and beans) waiting for our beans to get bigger to make some, beautiful harvest of beans, hope Charlotte is feeling better❤️
I love pickled beans and corn. I have always pickled mine in the jars because the only crock around was my moms grandmothers and she would let me use it lol. I’d like to try to do them in a crock sometime. Like always another great video keep them coming.
Hi Justin, thank you for sharing your mother's recipe for pickled beans. I have never used grape leaves to cover my fermenting vegetables. I just use a bit of boiled white cotton cloth. Do you actually taste the grape leaves? I can my grape leaves in the spring when they are tender for use in other recipes, like dolmas. They are dry and beat up by fall. Also I don't throw out my water from cooking up vegetables for canning. I add a bit of vinegar and salt and can the hot water. Sometimes I concentrate it down first. I mix the waters with tomato juice for a nice refreshing drink.
Lots of good information, singing, beautiful beans, and mountain know how! Thanks for everything you do, Justro! Trying to catch up when I can, internet problems lately
Howdy Justro! Had a good idea what you needed them grape leaves for. Granny always wanted the leaves from a wild fox grape if I could find them for her. Don't reckon it makes any difference though. Use to have to pickle everything if you wanted to keep it for spell. Thanks for the video brother!!
Hi Justro, 🤗 fantastic video, 🤩 as always, hope your going to able to show us the rest of the steps you do, so that I can make sure I do it properly, 😂 what to look for when cleaning the scum off the top and how much of the liquid to put in the jars, oh and how long do we leave them in the large pot, is it down to taste, best wishes from North Wales, U.K. to you and your girls X
Aw thank you so much! My people is from that country. I sure will and if any questions just comment and ai will do my best to answer. Thank you for watching over there ❤️
Justin, Love watching how you pickle beans. Can you taste the vinegar when you eat them? I love pickled beans. I don’t put Vinegar in them I only put Water 1 gallon and 1 cup of canning and pickling salt to cover all the beans.
I don’t think I have ever had pickled green beans. But I just finished getting a couple quarts ready for the freezer that I picked this morning. So I might pickle them instead. What was that song you were singing? I love that ❤️
Just to how many days does it take for the beans to be through pickling? I heard you say some people let them go for 21 days. Do you just go by the taste or is there a set time for them to be ready? Thanks for sharing your pickling talents I had to watch a lot of videos before theyi found you. This is how my mom did it too. I never learned the recipe all I did was eat them. Lol. She was born in 1931 so she knew the old ways. This is great you shared your knowledge with everyone. I subscribed and will be watching more of your videos. Thanks keep up the great work.
We like about 10-14 days. Just keep a watch on them, sample until they get how you like em. I appreciate you subscribing and I look forward to sharing with you. Thank you!
And the black/green/oolong tea leaves are all leaves from the camelia bush just picked at different stages and/or fermented. I just pick the smaller leaves and toss a couple in.
Been trying to make pickled beans but my dad says they don’t taste the same as when he was a kid. His kin was from WV so maybe I’ll try this recipe and see what he thinks :) thank you for the video. God bless
Here in Wisconsin we have wild grape vines that grow all over everything but I never see them put out grapes; I wonder if these could be used, or if it has to be garden fruit-producing grape vines? They look the same as my regular grapes; the japanese beetles eat them the same.
The wild grapes tend to be male or female. Male vines won’t produce fruit. This won’t make any difference in the leaves. So go right ahead and use them. Just be sure they’re grape leaves and not Virginia Creeper or Poison oak.
Interesting, thank you for sharing. My grandma pickled beans but I did not like them…may have been because she used pole beans which I did not like. Prefer half runners, cornfield or greasy beans. Had no idea how she did it. Do like pickled corn and leather britches though. I fix leather britches sometimes but don’t know how to pickle corn.
I leave them on until they are a little bit dry but not too dry because the weevils will get in them. I will talk mor on that later. You can finish them in the house or on the porch, just somewhere with good air flow
Pickle beans are like Gold in these here hills ! You were taught so well. So very proud of you ! You are a walking encyclopedia of our Mtn ways. Thank you Justro !
Aw thank you so much Sherry. I hope that I can help in some way.
That string rubber band trick is ingenious!!!!
It makes it easy
I never thought about the moon signs to affect the fermentation. Thanks for the many lessons. I just bought my first crock I'm 60 years old. I guess you're never too late to learn something new. Blessings to you and the girls.
Oh it effects everything. Bless you as well
I would love to see a video that explains how the signs on the calendar work in various aspects of gardening, animal husbandry, and yes canning. I find this fascinating, as my father and grandfather did many things by this method. I wish I had learned as a child thank you for the
I will try to get that done. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching.
I would love a video on this too! I purchased a calendar but can't figure out how to read it 😟
Justin, my mama would not even go in the garden when it was her time of the month. It's so good to have some of the old ways brought back to mind.
Thank you for sharing this with us. There is more to things than people know.
Tx I learned and will do this bean picking. From Fanie South Africa in the Freestate.
Hey and thank you so much!
Love the song! I have a great love for old folk songs and mountain music. Beautiful. I could listen to u talk all day.
Aw Thank you April
Thank you for passing this information on to others. My mother always followed the signs with those same guidelines. I remember her telling about a neighbor making kraut with her daughter helping and all the kraut spoiled because it was the wrong time of the month for the daughter to have hands in the process. It was wonderful to hear you sing that old song and you sounded great! You deserve to have a very successful channel and I hope it happens! Glad you are feeling better. I had the big C the first of July and still have a lingering cough and low energy. Lots of people seem to be slow getting back to normal. May God bless your endeavors.

Never can maters during that time either.

I look forward to seeing you make some 🌻

who in the world ever figured out to add grape leaves or any other kind of leaves for that purpose? this is ancient wisdom passed along and along down to us......if only we don't forget it
@@codyjarman I would like to know
Mr. Justro, when I was a little girl, my folks were friends of Doc Watson. Doc sang that song to me (I was maybe 5-7 years old) and I’ve never known the name of that song. I’m in my sixties now. I think you must live somewhere around Boone, or know songs that were sung around Deep Gap where the Watson family was from, maybe?
I really appreciate your knowledge of the old ways.
Bless you and your family.
@@rosezingleman5007 thank you. It has been sung in Madison County for a long time. Carried here no doubt. Thank you
This was a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing. Love the towel you used to cover the crock
Aw thank you Cindy
Howdy Justro- you’re a right smart young man. My wife uses the leaves off of muscadines in her pickling. Them gonna be awful good come winter. Take care and God bless y’all

Justro, I knew it was some kind of pickling with the grape leaves, I never used them on beans before, but we have on cucumbers. You done a fine job of preparing the beans! You're right about the full beans...Do you want green beans or green hulls? Lol! It does make a lot of since to let the beans get full, it also fills more jars up when canning! Thanks Justro for all the good information, I am glad you paid attention to details when you were growing up, It sure is helpful today and all these little nuggets of information will sure come in handy for people that are willing to listen now and in the future. There lives may depend on growing and preserving food! Sure am glad I found your channel! Blessing to You and the Girls! Hope Charlotte is feeling better!
Thank you for your compliments. I am thankful for what I have learned. We are glad you’re here. Thank you and bless you as well
Thanks for sharing this Justin, I hope Char is feeling better!
She sure is, thank you Thomas
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge Justro…
Glad that I can. Thank you Andy
A very thorough, entertaining and informative presentation. Thank you!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Those shelled beans reminded me of Mom's pasta e fagioli ( Italian for pasta and beans) waiting for our beans to get bigger to make some, beautiful harvest of beans, hope Charlotte is feeling better❤️
Thank you for sharing this with us. She sure is❤️
I love pickled beans and corn. I have always pickled mine in the jars because the only crock around was my moms grandmothers and she would let me use it lol. I’d like to try to do them in a crock sometime. Like always another great video keep them coming.
Aw thank you for sharing Danny. I appreciate you
I love to pickle beans with dill and garlic. Good instructional video.
Thanks folks!
A whole lot of great tips in this video! Thanks Justro.
Thank you Tracy
Grape leaves have tannin which helps keep the veg crunchy. Awesome video.
Yes, that will be on fff soon
Enjoyed this very much! always look forward to what you have to show us. God Bless You!!
Thank you for watching
Really enjoyed this on pickling man, just found your Metcalf Mills! Gonna be watching more of your stuff for sure!
Aw thank you so much! Glad you are here. Hope you enjoy
Hi Justin, thank you for sharing your mother's recipe for pickled beans. I have never used grape leaves to cover my fermenting vegetables. I just use a bit of boiled white cotton cloth. Do you actually taste the grape leaves? I can my grape leaves in the spring when they are tender for use in other recipes, like dolmas. They are dry and beat up by fall. Also I don't throw out my water from cooking up vegetables for canning. I add a bit of vinegar and salt and can the hot water. Sometimes I concentrate it down first. I mix the waters with tomato juice for a nice refreshing drink.
Thank you for sharing this with us
My Mom and Dad did everything by the sign from canning to roofing and I do the same when I plant or roof
Yes for sure. I will talk more about that later. Thank you
Hello Justro, neat to watch.
I can't pick beans, BUT i sure make a killer 5 bean salad.
Hope Little one is feeling her self. 🦄
Aw you could if you had some. Thank you🙂
Lots of good information, singing, beautiful beans, and mountain know how! Thanks for everything you do, Justro! Trying to catch up when I can, internet problems lately
Thank you!
Howdy Justro! Had a good idea what you needed them grape leaves for. Granny always wanted the leaves from a wild fox grape if I could find them for her. Don't reckon it makes any difference though. Use to have to pickle everything if you wanted to keep it for spell. Thanks for the video brother!!
Thank you so much for sharing Rick!
Grape leaves have tannins in them that help fermented foods remain crunchy. They say you can use black tea bags as well since it has tannins too .
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hi Justro, 🤗 fantastic video, 🤩 as always, hope your going to able to show us the rest of the steps you do, so that I can make sure I do it properly, 😂 what to look for when cleaning the scum off the top and how much of the liquid to put in the jars, oh and how long do we leave them in the large pot, is it down to taste, best wishes from North Wales, U.K. to you and your girls X
Aw thank you so much! My people is from that country. I sure will and if any questions just comment and ai will do my best to answer. Thank you for watching over there ❤️
Justin, very excellent learning video,; how long do you leave in crock before you jar them.
As long as it takes for them to get how you want them. Up to 21 days but maybe only 10. We will be checking them soon
Justin,
Love watching how you pickle beans. Can you taste the vinegar when you eat them? I love pickled beans. I don’t put Vinegar in them I only put
Water 1 gallon and 1 cup of canning and pickling salt to cover all the beans.
Yeah we do it that way too. No not to me, they have been really good! Thank you!
I've pickled things on my period before with zero issues. That's an old wives' tale.
Great video bud. One thing I don’t miss is destringing beans. I always plant non-string varieties lol.
Thanks for sharing this with us big country. Are you in NC?
No sir, I’m in Clinton, SC. About 2 hours from your neck of the woods.
What type of bean are you pickling? White half runner? We grow several varieties.They look so very good! The mountain song was beautiful!
Yes half runners. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
I don’t think I have ever had pickled green beans. But I just finished getting a couple quarts ready for the freezer that I picked this morning. So I might pickle them instead. What was that song you were singing? I love that ❤️
Thank you Lisa. It is called Little Margaret. Hope it goes well for you ❤️
Used to love Shelly bean's! But I didn't like shelling them as a kid! My aunt wood bring bags and bags of them to my mom!
Thank you for sharing Jeffrey
Just to how many days does it take for the beans to be through pickling? I heard you say some people let them go for 21 days. Do you just go by the taste or is there a set time for them to be ready? Thanks for sharing your pickling talents I had to watch a lot of videos before theyi found you. This is how my mom did it too. I never learned the recipe all I did was eat them. Lol. She was born in 1931 so she knew the old ways. This is great you shared your knowledge with everyone. I subscribed and will be watching more of your videos. Thanks keep up the great work.
We like about 10-14 days. Just keep a watch on them, sample until they get how you like em. I appreciate you subscribing and I look forward to sharing with you. Thank you!
Honey, it’s the tannins in the grape leaves that will crisp up the beans. If someone can’t find grape leaves, you can use oak leaves or black tea. 😊
Yes thank you🙂
And the black/green/oolong tea leaves are all leaves from the camelia bush just picked at different stages and/or fermented. I just pick the smaller leaves and toss a couple in.
Been trying to make pickled beans but my dad says they don’t taste the same as when he was a kid. His kin was from WV so maybe I’ll try this recipe and see what he thinks :) thank you for the video. God bless
Aw I hope it is just right. Thank you❤️
Here in Wisconsin we have wild grape vines that grow all over everything but I never see them put out grapes; I wonder if these could be used, or if it has to be garden fruit-producing grape vines? They look the same as my regular grapes; the japanese beetles eat them the same.
I would think so. Grape leaves have tannins in them that helps things stay crisp.
The wild grapes tend to be male or female. Male vines won’t produce fruit. This won’t make any difference in the leaves. So go right ahead and use them. Just be sure they’re grape leaves and not Virginia Creeper or Poison oak.
Interesting, thank you for sharing. My grandma pickled beans but I did not like them…may have been because she used pole beans which I did not like. Prefer half runners, cornfield or greasy beans. Had no idea how she did it. Do like pickled corn and leather britches though. I fix leather britches sometimes but don’t know how to pickle corn.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I am with you on the beans. I am about to string up some beans tonight..
Do you save any of your seeds for the next gardening season? If you do when do you pick and how do you dry them?
I leave them on until they are a little bit dry but not too dry because the weevils will get in them. I will talk mor on that later. You can finish them in the house or on the porch, just somewhere with good air flow
I’ve never tried pickled green beans, but I would like to.
Could I ask where did you find your almanac calendar? I have not seen one of them in years.
You're right on that.
Can't judge the mare as rebellious, cause the girl weren't told.
Thank you
