Hey everyone,

New to canning and appreciate all the information on here, has been extremely helpful.

Looking for some feedback on my canned beans. I followed this recipe as best as I could. However I am thinking I did not add enough liquid to the jars. The recipe calls for 3/4 beans and 1/4 of liquid while leaving the 1” headspace which I believe I did, but the jars don’t look as liquidy as some of the pictures I have seen on here and in the recipe page.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I believe I’m still okay as the jars appear to be half full of liquid, but rather get the advice of more veteran canners.

Thanks!

    They look great. You followed a good & safe recipe, which means great taste & safe to share! Siphoning happens & it has happened to me countless times. From the pictures here, it looks like there is enough liquid in them to be safe. At the minimum is 50% of the jar has liquid, the food above the liquid line may discolour.
    Here is a link for further information.
