Stringy Green beans

[Stubbornhillfarm]

THANKS for the tip veggie pack.

Another question. I have avoided putting up grean beans because memories serves that they where *squeaky* and unpleasant. But DH planted way to many to eat fresh. So.... what is the best way to preserve them? I have a canning kettle. I no longer have a presure cooker it went out with the rest of the kitchen after the house fire 4 years ago. Never replaced it as I did not think I would be doing anything with it! Tips please. Thanks....

A local farm that I went to last year had pickled green beans. In that case you would not have to have the pressure cooker. Or how about like a 3 been salad? That has a vinegar base, so I would assume not pressure cooker needed. I too have no pressure cooker, so will have to be creative with the green beans.
