12 Steps to Canning Green Beans

Step 8, Fill the Jar with the Bean Juice

After Bernice has tamped the beans in the jar she fills the jar with the liquid from the boiling bean pot. If you run out of liquid just use hot water. Fill with a 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe the rim, place a lid on the jar and screw on a ring. Paul then tightens the rings and sets them aside waiting their time in the pressure cooker.
