Painless Preservation

Green Beans are a great candidate for the dehydrator.  They are a low acid so to be home canned they must be pressured canned.  Which is wonderful but a bit more time consuming than I want today.  I have lots to do on my day off so saving time is important to me.

I picked our beans this morning and got about 2 gallons.

Then straight in to the house for a 'bath'.


Then into the steam blanch.  For our altitude 4 minutes did the trick.


From the steam blanch...



... right to the drying trays.


Dry green beans until brittle.

  1. Certainly. They turned out great. This winter I can just drop them in to the vegetable soup. :-)
