beans are pickled for the winter, whole or sliced. Approximate length - 3-3.5 centimeters. Before you put it in jars, you must first hold them for three to four minutes in boiling water. Blanching is necessary to make the beans softer. However, canned beans should not be boiled for the winter. Therefore, after blanching, pour cold water over it, cool well.
