It is much better to freeze beans or dry them if you don't have a pressure canner.
I have successfully pickled Spicy Beans in reused glass jars and lids. They last for a number of weeks in the fridge. We also freeze some excess beans for eating in the winter. Dear Wife used to can food, but gave that up a few years ago as it got to be too much work for her.
When it comes to food, I try to plant the beans in stages so that not all the plants come ready to harvest at the same time. Also, we eat as much fresh food as possible in season and do without in the off season. We have a nice new freezer out in the garage, but frozen food is not as good as fresh, although it's still very good. We just had some frozen squash last night for supper that we picked last August. And we still have a few bags of frozen beans in the freezer. Probably run out of our garden food sometime in February, but that's OK.
