Immediately transfer beans to the ice bath for 5 minutes. Add beans to the boiling water and cook until the green beans are bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.

They either had the blight or didn’t produce enough to even bother with the canning. It’s kind of that way with the green beans when they first start producing. We planted lots of tomatoes this year because the last two years I haven’t been able to can any at all. Our garden did really well this year, and it’s so nice to go out and pick a fresh tomato or cucumber for lunch or dinner.
