Learning lessons is good. Today's lesson in the kitchen is that while it takes roughly one pound of fresh asparagus to give you a pint jar of pickled asparagus, it only takes about one HALF of a pound of fresh green beans to fill that same pint jar.
So, yeah, I've got about 3 times the amount of green beans that I needed to can up two batches(14 total pints) of pickled green beans.
Tune in tomorrow for Canning 2, Electric Boogaloo, were I dust off the pressure canner to make up a few batches of 'normal' canned green beans...chopping them into pieces and boiling them seems to be easier than hand packing each jar length wise.
We shall see.
