Canning Three Bean Salad

I was doing a little bit of research on Pinterest one lazy Saturday morning and much to my glee I discovered that I could water bath can three bean salad! Excited to try a new canning recipe I went straight to a local farm and filled up on beans, celery and onions. Unfortunately our bean plants aren’t too happy this year so I needed to top up my supply and I’m always happy to support local farms.

Just as a note this recipe comes from the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning so it has been tested and is a safe recipe to use. With canning, especially water bath canning, becoming more popular with each passing summer there are a lot of recipes floating around on the Internet. Now I’m not saying they are all bad. In fact many of them are excellent and safe to use, but until you get the hang of things it’s always good to get your recipes from a reputable source like Ball or Bernardin or other such sources.

I hope you’ve enjoyed your canning season so far. Please share with me, through comments here or on my facebook page, what you’ve done this canning season!
