Freezing green beans:
You can freeze green beans too. You wash, rinse, and string your green beans. Transfer them to a stock pot and cover with water. You just want to blanch them at this point for about 3-4 minutes. You don’t want to bring them to a boil. You still want them a little crisp. Remove from the hot water and immediately put into ice bath to stop the cooking process. Remove from the ice water and put into ziploc bags and seal or you can use a vacuum sealer like we do. They should keep in the freezer for a long time.
Canning Green Beans:
We pick, wash and snap our green beans and raw pack them into jars. I fill with water to the neck, debubble, wipe rims of jars off and tighten lids and rings. I process them in the pressure canners according to my Ball Blue Book directions. It's 25 minutes at 10 lbs pressure for my altitude.
