Canning Green Beans that ‘STAY GREEN!!!’

CANNING GREEN BEANS:
Stuff quarts full of washed and cut green beans ( we take off the stem end but leave the other one)
Add:
50-100 mg Zinc
1/2 to 1 TSP salt ( I use mineral salt)
fill jars with water up to the 'neck' of the jar, or 1" head space.
Pressure can for 20 minutes at 10lbs of pressure!

The problem of today's society is that parents have stopped teaching their children how to think for themselves, be responsible, and be respectful. I personally think this makes you the most intelligent person in the room! That's why they're coming after us!! Keep up the good fight, sister!! GOD LOVES A WORKING MAN AND A NURTURING WOMAN!!

Thank you for sharing - my grandfather always said “if you have one boy, you have good help. If you have two boys, you have half the help and if you have three boys you have no help”. Hahaha! I laughed when I saw three boys standing around eating the beans and it reminded me of this saying.

I am 81 years young and have canned food all my life. I have to say I have learned more from watching you than I can believe.

Oh my dear.. as a person now in my 60s.. with great grandparents who were horse & buggy Mennonites (my grandparents were more progressive, then each generation after has become more secular. I know my generation who are still alive appreciate the Mennonite culture very much. The food especially.. lol.. 😊)
I love watching your lives.. very much reminds me of my own childhood..
Oh my.. did we very learn Very Important lessons about life, where food comes from & the human effort to grow that food.. many other lessons too..
I love the true reality of your videos ❤😊
Nothing gimicky but as a family really functions.. and I think you are doing an incredible job of giving your children a good grounding for when they become adults.. especially in this day & times..
God bless your family..
& thanks for sharing... 😊

Please don't sell yourself short honey. You make really great videos. I love following your family and the relationship you have with your kids. It is so nice to see parents actually teaching their kids the daily chores that they will eventually need to survive in this world. Keep doing what you are doing, and may God Bless you and your family.

we love you for what you ARE and how you present yourself!! we are tired of 'professional' and 'hypie' videos! you are so REAL and down to earth, your loving family, your practical suggestions. your faith (without forcing it!) you are a breath of fresh air! THANK YOU

[cinnelson]

I have watched other youtubers but i always come back to your videos because of YOU. Your voice is so calm and your smile is so lovely that no one compares. I have watched almost all of your videos since I came across you a week ago. Your children are charming. I love the way you film your amazing farm. I feel like I am apart of your wonderful work.

[sandrasprinkle]

Your videos have been the best for me! I'm 76, raised on a small farm but I've learned more from you than anyone!! Thank you. Don't sell yourself short!! I love you and your family!!

I have been canning green beans for 40 years and am so happy I found your video. My beans today are beautiful. Thank you.

[bonniebartlow]

Thanks for telling us about the zinc. This will help so many families with the appearance of their green beans. We all enjoy watching your family work together.
God bless your family and your animals

[marthamyers]

Thank you. I did not know about the zinc. Don’t let anyone tell you that you do not “sound educated”. I am a Home Economics major and you immediately taught me something. I would rather learn from you than some of the You Tubers who think they know everything when it is so obvious they know nothing. Do what you are doing and feel GOOD about it and yourself. Thank you again.
😊😊😊

Do not underestimate your content. I think some of the photography of your homestead is stunning. And you content is real. Love it!

Glen parked up as soon as you held up the kale asking if that's what he wanted. You are a beautiful human being, all kids should be growing up like this. Too many distractions in the world today. Bless your family, and God bless you. I hope this comment finds your family well.❤🤍💙 🚜 ☀

Your boys ate a full meal of green beans during the process. I laughed seeing the puffed out cheeks stuffed with the string beans as they were stuffing the jars! 😂 When I was a girl, my mom used to sit me outside at the picnic table on a nice day to snap the beans for dinner. It always seemed like a mountain I would never be able to conquer. Unfortunately I didn't have a couple of siblings to help me. Everytime I buy string beans now, I think about those days. I'd gladly snap beans for her now. ❤ Thanks for sharing the technique for keeping canned beans green and triggering good memories. 😊😊

We love Homesteading with the Zimmerman’s… the quality of footage, editing style and commentary is special on so many levels. Thank you for taking the time to share all you do.

[blueheronhill]

The only reason I don’t can green beans is the color. Now I can can them up and freeing up freezer space will be so great! Thanks for starting this great tip.

[susanmyer]

I have been binge watching since I found your channel. I love that all the kids are involved in the process. It’s great that kids understand where food comes from and how to preserve it.

[stoprunning]

God Bless you - I have discovered your channel and the most humblest person that you are. How wonderful that we have been blessed with someone as sweet as you to show us what my Father and Mother tried to teach us. "Live Simply to Simply Live" was there lifetime motto. Thank you for your channel. I have now been following you videos, canning and preserving for over 1 year and what a pleasure I have received for successfully achieving great results from following you. I am not very comfortable pressure canning but your water baths are what I follow. Maybe I will one day venture further.
Thank you. Many blessings and love.

[kelcritcarroll]

I did the zinc tabs and you are right! The color is bright green compared to my other beans! This is spectacular!

[shawnswain]

Watching the little boys munch on green beans instead of potato chips is quite satisfying!
