Pack the beans into jars leaving 1 inch of headspace.
Add 1/2 tsp. of salt to each pint jar or 1 tsp. of salt per quart jar.

Process the jars in a pressure canner, pints for 20 minutes, quarts for 25 minutes at 10 pounds of pressure or adjusted to your altitude.
Remove the jars from the canner and place on a towel. Allow them to sit for 24 hours for the seal to set.
