Why green beans? I grew up on canned green beans.
Why was she afraid of tomato's??? She watch "Attack of the Killer Tomato's" and get nightmares??? LOL
I id have time to read the whole thread but it has to do with the pod. I thought you could too and I think you can but not sure if its pressure or water bath for green beans
My Mom canned green beans and new potatoes together, and lots of ripe tomatoes. Dad and I would sometimes have just a jar of tomatoes as a meal. They're delicious.
My Uncle truck-farmed, and he gave us all the cull tomatoes (odd shaped, insect bit, etc.) we wanted. So we had them cold from the fridge when in season (ate 'em whole like apples), and canned when out of season.

OMG! That was the most campy movie ever produced! Some dude in leather hood and goggles trailing a parachute in the background while tomato's were killing people. Attack of the killer tomatoes II was even worse. You had to be drunk to appreciate the humor. No sane person could ever enjoy it with a straight mind!
Back to the topic, I don't know why mom was afraid of canning tomatoes. Probably some old husbands tale of getting sick or something if not done right.
We've canned tons of salsa over the years, so don't know why she was afraid of doing tomatoes.
This was back in the day when folks water-canned EVERYTHING. I actually prefer frozen or dehydrated foods better than canned anyway so it's all good around here. If the hubby wants to can, he can can. I'll stick with my Excalibur ... and the freezer ...
A lot of people never have a problem canning things they shouldn't can. Problem is there is that chance that canning that one thing may end up with botulism in it and boom, ya dead.OMG!

Rice for example..... The starch causes swelling in the rice and the water in-between the rice doesn't distribute the heat evenly and thus isn't thoroughly cooked or sterilized
I'm canning for the End of the World, so freezers may not work LOLThis was back in the day when folks water-canned EVERYTHING.

Ok, I can see the starch thing in rice, but green beans?
Maybe he means whole pods?
Ours were always snapped.
And ya can buy canned green beans at the store...
