Thank you for the links Mike,
If you happen to run upon a green bean canning recipe that includes bacon or fat back as well as dill could you let me know. I recieved some one year from one of my ex-husbands co-workers wifes but they moved shortly there after and I could never get the recipe. I'd be afraid to add meat to anything canned as an experiment so I am hoping someday to run into someone who knows how that flavor was added to the green beans. There was no actual bacon or meat in the jars we recieved and there didn't appear to be any grease in the jars either. But i would have sworn that the beans had been cooked in bacon fat.

Its very possible that the beans were cooked with bacon. That is how my family has always made them. Where the beans dead, or kind of crunchy? My family kills the beans when they cook them and we like it that way, but you can never find them like that up here in PA. Stephen doesn't like them dead either...he likes them still kickin'. ![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)

I have to ask, Jenn. How do you kill beans? Are you a vegetable murderer?

Oh! We cook them until they are pretty soft. Stephen calls them mush. Up here in Pa, people like them kind of crunchy. ![[nutz]](im/graemlins/nutz.gif)

Ok! Gotcha! I like dead beans, too, with a lot of "pot liquor". If they aren't cooked long enough, they taste like boiled peanuts to me! I love boiled peanuts, but not over my rice. As a matter of fact, I am killing some pintos now for supper!

TK..I think you would be fine to can the green beans using bacon as the seasoning. My grandmother alway canned meat. She would make stew and can it and would boil chicken and can them for chicken & dumplings or other chicken recipes. She did that to save her freezer space and because she did not drive so couldn't just run to the store and grab a chicken...(although she could run to the back yard and grab one)

I like mine both ways.I cook 'em with bacon and onion 'til they're dead.
I also eat 'em in my garden.
Hey Mike,very good info on those sites.

Thanks for the sites, Mike. I'm in upstate S.C. and no vegetable is safe on our farm. Everything gets killed. Green beans. Any kind of bean. Squash. Zucchini. If it isn't killed by being cooked to death, it's fried. The maddest my Momma has ever been at me was last summer when I had eaten every fried thing I could stand. We were having lunch, and all I said was 'please don't fry my cantaloupe.' Everything else was fried, after all.
Note to self: never criticize Momma's cooking. She went on strike and didn't cook for 2 weeks.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Can bacon be safely added to green beans when canning them?
Bacon, which is very high in fat, should not be added to vegetables or tomato vegetable mixtures that are to be canned. Fat can protect Clostridium boutlinum spores that produce botulism toxin so that the usual processing times will be too short to kill them.
If you wanted a dill pickle bean recipe, I can post it for you. They are crispy, and tart.
