16 Steps to Canning Green Beans

Step 4, Put Salt in empty Jars

On the day of the canning we put 1 tablespoon of bacon bits and 1 teaspoon salt in each empty jar prior to starting the beans. Both the bacon and salt is optional and not required if they are a problem for your health. Here Bernice measures out the salt to be put into each jar. Because we have 50 pounds of beans we will need 45 jars. Ten pounds of cut beans will produce 9 quarts of canned beans.
