Canned Green Beans

A jar of green beans preserved by canning.The beans will not get soggy when you cook them.

Ingredients:

  • 2 gallons broken and washed green beans
  • 1 1/3 cups white vinegar
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • scant (not quite) 1/2 cup salt

Directions:

Put the broken and washed green beans in a pot and bring them to a boil.

Add the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring back to a boil and boil for 30 minutes.

Pack in hot jars, cover with hot lids and rings. No need for a water bath.

When you're ready to cook them, pour the brine off, rinse the beans good, then pour them in a boiler and add a quart of water. Season as you like.

I'm so sorry I forgot to add how many quarts it makes. 2 gallons of broken beans will make 6-7 quarts.

This sounds good but I'm confused about "Servings: about 4."
About how many quart jars does this make? Thank you!
