Canning Beans


There is something very rewarding to me about canning or "putting up" your own food. With the help of my good friend Sherry, I finally got over my fears of the pressure canner, and purchased one. I had trouble finding green beans, but Jim found some at a local veggie stand. We worked in beans all day. We canned 21 quarts, a good half day's work! When I retire, I want to have a garden so I can grow and can more of our food. I am so domestic. I enjoy cooking, cleaning, quilting, and now canning! I should have been born 100 years ago.
