**Using a Pressure Canner**

Boil peas or beans for 2 minutes.

Load the beans or peas into hot jars to almost 1″ head space.

Add 1 tsp of canning salt and boiling water to the jar; leaving 1″ head space.

Remove any air pockets with your bubble remover; add more boiling water if needed.

Wipe rims, place a lid and ring finger tight.

Load your jars into the canner. (1000 ft or below) Pressure can at 11 lbs. for 40 minutes for pints and 50 minutes for quarts.
