16 Steps to Canning Green Beans

Step 5, Adding Bacon to the Jars

The day before canning beans we have cut up and fried bacon for flavoring the beans. We remove the bacon grease. 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.
