Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I'm halfway done picking green beans. Now I need to get on the ladder and pick the rest from the outside of the garden fence. I got 3 pounds so far. There was also one pullet egg, but didn't get one at all yesterday.

I decided that I'm going to use my pressure canner for the first time to process the beans. My freezer is close to full already so I need to start canning more stuff instead of freezing.
I thought you had a water bath canner. That would be better, and maybe not make the beans mushy. They get so soft under pressure.

I don't think beans can be safely processed in a water bath. And anyway, I grew up eating mushy beans. They taste great, especially when you put several slices of bacon in the pot. Cook 'em till they melt in your mouth!

Pickled beans can be safely water bathed because of the acidity in the vinegar.

Oh, ok. I'll make the pickled ones then. I really don't like mushy beans and I'm not fond of bacon either. lol
 
I ended up ordering this one.
