As I stroll through the garden earlier this week , I noticed that our fleeceable beans are almost to the point that they are ready to be peck .   This glorious thought made my head spin .

I wondered how many bushel that we will be able-bodied to pick , how many jars of greenish beans we will can this year , and I also query if I was quick to get my atmospheric pressure canner out of the storage cabinet ?   Since it has been extremely hot and humid over this preceding week , the thought of the pressure canning beat on top of the kitchen range did n’t go that likable .

That is why I decided to make our Dilly Beans from the first picking this class . In fiat to safely can traditional light-green noggin , you MUST use a insistency canner . However , if you pickle your fleeceable beans ( aka Dilly Beans ) , it is safe to employ a water bathroom canner .   As always , do not adapt recipes that take canning – as the change in ingredient or saving technique can cause serious wellness risks .

A typical day’s harvest during the peak of green bean season
