Thank you for sharing this. My Grandma canned them for many decades and never owned a pressure canner. USDA might disagree, but I think using clean produce and clean and sterile jars make it work. Again…thanks!
Thank you, for another fantastic video! I really appreciate your work!
I will say, again, people have been water bath canning for years, before they had pressure canners! Somehow, the species has survived!
😆
May God continue to bless the work you are doing!
Ya know what I did, I dehydrated mine…they turn out great threw them into a stew to see how they did 👍, does great…even just to snack on they are wonderful
Great video thanks. I’m just learning how to waterbath.
You are such a good teacher!!
My family water bath canned for generations. The one thing that I was taught, that I didn't see you do, was to boil the jars lids and rings before filling them.
can you use lemon juice instead of vinegar?
I find that canning green beans makes them soft, not firm how I like to eat them. I do add a bay leaf, but it still remain soft. I recently used a brine to ferment my green beans, but something went wrong with brine ratio and mold set in. However, when I bit into one, it was crunchy. 👍
Even with a water bath canner you still have to attend it to make sure it stays at rolling boil and at the water does not evaporate down so you're still babysitting whether it be the pressure canner or whether it be the water bath canner. With a pressure canner once I get it up to pressure and I can turn down the heat and I get it to a steady pressure I walk away from that too I'm within the area but I'm not standing right next to the pressure canner so I still find pressure canning much easier than water bath canning.
Other than the fear of botulism, what is the advantage to pressure canning? Botulism comes from a soil born bacteria so that is a cleanliness issue.
You tighten your rings more than I do. I don't hold the bottle. I spin the ring till the bottle starts to turn.
Love watching you. Learn so much. Water bath was done well before pressure cookers, maybe you can call ‘rebel’ canning, ‘original’ canning. Lol
I got a cast-iron burner for my pressure canner and I have that going near my sewing area in my basement. That way I can sew while I babysit my pressure canner and I feel more productive. I only have 1 child and so I cann I. Pints and so I can fit two layers in my pressure canner.and I don't have as many leftovers. My mother waterbath caned everything. She never owned a pressure canner but I feel safer pressure canning.
Same to you
I like your method of water bathed beans…Mom and I put a tsp of salt per qt jar then pour boiling water in the jars and process them 45 minutes…(for qt sized bottles) 2 hours? Our house gets very hot doing it for just 45 minutes in NS, Canada during Summer months…LOL
Thank you so so much for doing this! I know that people didn't always have pressure canners.
I bought one last year and I'm terrified of it lol. I'm sure it's safe to use it, but I have a glass top stove, so that's iffy enough, but since it's electric, I don't think it would keep the pressure steady to ensure safety. I have dehydrated so many things that I'd prefer to can. Please ask your friend to share with us, any recipes she can. I don't want to pickle everything, but a little vinegar shouldn't make things taste pickled, right? I might even grow green beans now that I don't have to freeze them. Does this recipe work for fresh shelled beans and cowpeas as well? I'm growing a few potatoes too, getting canned as soon as I see that video. I wonder if I could can diced summer squash…hmmm
Awesomeness, thanks for another great stream 🙏🌹
YOU Beautiful lady are a life saver. I was leery about can, been years since I had done it. But after watching you I feel very comfortable again.
My great grand parents old Dutch and they water bathed everything. HUGE THANK YOU for sharing and teaching others.
I talked to my Mennonite friend and asked her about this. She uses a pressure canner now, but did use the cold bath method and said 3 hours just like your friend. I will be doing that now because it will be easier for me to manage. The pressure canner is too heavy for me.
I also was thinking that I could put the second rack in (???) and do a few different things in the same canner. I usually do pints.
Just curious why you cut the beans and don’t just snap them with your hands?
Just stumbled onto your channel. Thank you for sharing. Just learning about pressure canning and water bath. I want to learn how to can ground beef and chicken.
I need some help. Today I pressure canned green beans. I had rings and lids come completely off 2 jars. The only difference is I used non Ball lids. I used Superb brand. I didn’t hear anything unusual during processing. I have never had this happen before. What happened?
I always like water bathing but I always was shown that pressure cooking is the only way to can certain vegetables. I am scared to pressure canning because I have seen what can happen to a person 😳. This is why I prefer water bathing techniques. Are you going to make more videos on vegetables water bathing soon?
Thanks!
I want to water bath banana peppers rings how long should I keep them in water bath? Do I have to use anything else besides salt
I would like to know if it’s been tested on the comparison of nutrients in the water bath to pressure canning.
I'm 54 and have never pressure canned anything. And we're healthy from eating it.
I waterbath mine just like you did and my Grandma and Mother did as well their delish .Thank you ❤
This concerns me. Botulism is invisible and tasteless and it doesn’t change the way they look. We always watered bathed pickled green beans because they are acidic. Plain beans are alkaline. Perfect environment for botulism. People died and will die of botulism if the are canning doing dangerous practices.
I understand the urge to experiment. I say this with respect. M
Have you ever canned malanga? I wonder if you would can it as a potato. please let me know.
Doing your beans outside reminded me of my grandma. She used to take her beans or peas and go out under their tree and sit and do them in the nice shade. I miss her a lot! Thank you for bringing back that memory.
my new presto canner said not to use on a propane stove like that… good to see you doing it and it not melting. 🙂
Price wise how does canning your own beans compare to purchasing commercially canned beans??
Thank you for spreading information on how to preserve food via canning using various techniques.
I love my Camp Chef for canning outside as well. I live in Wyoming so the wind it always blowing here.
My question is does the vinger taste come through when water bathing your green beans?
I'm glad to see you're back to doing these videos. Keep being you. I think we all understand you're showing how YOU do it and if WE do it it's at our own risk. Our kitchen our rules.
Gotta watch this later, but I just wanted you to know I just subscribed! I can tell I can learn so much more from you ☺️
I was wondering if larger beans can be water bathed using the same time? I have a large purple bean called carminat that I grow. I’m assuming as long as I cut them into bite sized pieces?
We love to water bath nopales! It’s a staple at our home! But I never knew the rings had to come off the can 😂
I don’t why there’s a debate on waterbath and pressure canning! Before Pressure Canners, there was waterbaths. My grandparents waterbathed on a fire outside in a pot, they lived just fine, and so did my great grandparents. It’s like before we had tubs, etc., they bathed in creeks and rivers!🤷🏼♀️😇 I also can with both a pressure canner and waterbath. Oh by the way, I canned Susie’s Potatoes and oh my goodness, they’re so pretty. I’m gonna open up a jar next weekend to see how they taste.🙏😇
They look the same
Thanks for the video 📸
Hi L. And greetings from Australia. I absolutely love your canning videos. You really are a Legend in your own lifetime, a true domestic Goddess. Not to mention the best teacher I have ever come across. Thank You lovely.
