Today was my first time canning alone, without Mom, a Grandmother, or anyone else. It was also my first time pressure canning. I borrowed a small pressure cooker from my Grandma-in-law to give it a try. Worked great! I will definitely do this again. Yummy, beautiful, green beans!

To my dismay, the beans do lose their brilliant color upon canning. They end up looking just like regular canned beans, but at least I know where they came from, when, and what’s in them!
