Italian beans are easy to can. We recommend blanching them for exactly 3 minutes before canning to help retain their color. When canning you may cut them into 1" pieces after blanching or place tightly pack them vertically into the jar as long as they don't extend beyond the headspace. Also see canning Italian beans in quart jars.
