Garlic Canned Green Beans
"I love green beans and garlic, so I decided to add garlic cloves to my beans as I was canning them. This is much healthier for you than what you get in the grocery store and tastes better, too."

Perhaps it was the garlic I used. A few months after canning these, I gave them a try. The garlic was so overwhelming, I couldn’t taste the beans. Not for me. -
Hey....if it's got garlic, it's got my attention! The whole procedure for these was really easy. And the amounts are perfect! Thanks for posting a keeper!

<p>I live in the Home of Sliced Bread. My little town in Missouri is where the first loaf of bread was sliced by machine, many years ago. <br /><br /><br />My favorite cookbook is recipezaar. I used to collect cookbooks, but I've given away all but my most cherished ones which belonged to my Grandma. I shop at an Amish community for my dry goods as much as possible. Right now, I'm in a canning phase and I probably will be until I'm too old to cut the mustard.</p>
