Have you ever grown fresh shelled beans and canned them? Do you have anymore questions on doing this in your kitchen?

I grew Windsor Beans (a variety of broad bean, like fava or lima beans) this summer and they are finally ready to harvest. I am in Alberta, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the elevation is almost 3,500 feet. Can you explain what I need to do differently? I heard you say over 1,000 feet you need to use 15 pounds of pressure. Is that just pressure on the gauge, or do I need a different weight on my canner as well? Is the time the same? Thanks!

I’m watching your video now before canning Christmas Pole Limas picked yesterday.

Your site is just amazing. Can't wait for your preserving book to come out.

Thanks Melissa ! So easy and so convenient to have on hand ! Thanks for taking your time to show us how to Raw Pack Shelled Beans ! :}

This is a great video thank you so much! I would love to see a recipe video of the soups you mentioned!

This is so good to know !!!!

Thank you Melissa for sharing this - new friend

Great video!

Yep we grow Vermont cranberry shell bean, black turtle, Jacob cattle dry beans. We both dry and can depending on our needs

Thanks for this really excellent video! I have the same pressure canner you used here. I've only used it once and appreciate knowing about the siphoning issue. I had a heck of a time getting the lid off so maybe I won't wait quite so long next time! Also, I read your book The Made from Scratch Life and loved it. You certainly are blessed and blessing others too.

Love ur shows little sister keep going

Hi Melissa. How many minutes to process pints? Thank you for this video!

Can you do the same with Scarlett Runner beans?

I'm so glad I found you! So much amazing info on all your videos. Off subject; this is the second dress I've seen like this. Where did you get them??? Super cute and comfy!

Do you can green beans? How long do they take?

I just heard your comment about not canning lima beans when they’re white but to can them when they’re green. Does that apply to the Christmas pole lima beans? Fully mature they are speckled maroon, and when they are in between they’re white and even white when they’re small.

I've tried twice to find it. How long is the pressure process? I saw you say that you were turning off the timer, but could not find what you had set it for to begin with.

How long did you process the beans?

Can these beans be frozen?? I have tons of beans ready to be saved for soups, but i do not have a pressure canner..should i let the beans dry completely & just save as a dry bean for the time

Thank you for all your great advice. I may be missing it in the video, but how long do you process the beans at pressure, after the 10 minutes of venting steam. Thanks again for all that you share.

It depends on your altitude but for 1,000 feet above sea level or lower it's 40 minutes for pints

Melissa would you be willing to share a few of the seeds for the Tar Heel Lima bean? I have been trying to find them but the all look like green beans. 1:19

Melissa. Love the video. Can you tell me if you use the same method if you have shelled your fresh beans & put them in the freezer? I shelled a lot of fresh pinto beans & I need to free up some freezer space.

I've never frozen and then canned, are they mushy after thawing?

How tight were the lids before you put them under pressure? Did you tighten even more after pressuring them?

@MelissaKNorris

4 жыл бұрын

You only tighten them to finger tip tight (over tightening can cause lid buckling and failed seals) and no, you don't retighten after canning

Why does it matter if they lima beans are green or white at 7:50? This is my first year growing all sorts of beans, and I've scarlett runners,favas, limas, flambeau, indian tongue, asparagus bean and blue kentucky all growing. Is canning preferable over drying, taste-wise? Is it better to try and keep the same size beans together? Any other suggestions for me on preserving beans?

@russ sherwood it's safe to pressure can dry beans if you soak them first, I say it's not safe to pressure can dry beans the way you do fresh beans (no soaking). And the processing times are different for dry beans vs. fresh the way I'm doing them.

Once the pressure cooker reaches the 10lbs of pressure, is the heat turned off then or is it kept boiling at that pressure for a certain time..

@MelissaKNorris

No, once it reaches 10 pounds of pressure you start your timer and operate it at the 10 pounds of pressure for the length of the recipe.

Amazon has the Ball book on canning. A good informative resource on pressure canning, water bath canning and freezing. Hope this helps!

Great video as always. But i do have a question??? Boring as it may be, can you once show a video with just the 10 minutes on venting steady stream. Would it be possible to show that. How thick is that steady stream of steam going??? Is it straight steam or does it have broken strong and weak steady steam???? Sorry that it is a hard question to describe. Thank you!

@MelissaKNorris

4 жыл бұрын

I don't know that anyone would watch it for a full 10 minutes but in answer to the question one it starts being steady (not spurting) I start my timer. It does get to be a stronger stream after a minute but so long as it's steady, you're fine to start the timer.
