I will be canning green beans in a regular canning pot, not a pressure cooker. Do you do as you would with a pressure cooker? Then how long do you need to cook them?

You will have to google the topic to find out the time you have to have the jars of green beans in the hot water bath. The time is bound to be longer than in a pressure cook. When I was younger I did all of my cooking in the hot water bath. It has been so long since I did any canning that I don't have any idea about the time length. I don't know if it is an old wive's take or the truth, but I was always told that green beans can go bad really easily if not canned properly.
Foods that are not naturally high in acid are not safe to can using a hot water bath canner. This includes most vegetables (tomatoes are on the fence with this one so adding a little lemon juice to each jar makes them safe) and definitely green beans.
