13. Okra
Rinse off your okra and then cut off the stems. In a pot of boiling water add the okra and let cook for five minutes. Remove okra from the pot and add to a bowl of ice water. After five minutes you would dry, the okra thoroughly and then place in a freezer bag to freeze as long as needed.
14. Green Beans
Trim and wash your green beans and boil a pot of water. Then place the green beans in a canning jar along with a teaspoon of lemon juice and enough hot water to cover the green beans. Then seal the jars and place the jars in a pressure canner for 30 minutes.

Wash, peel and remove the core from the apples, then chop them in pieces. Then you would put apples inside the canning jars and add a third cup of sugar syrup and hot water to cover the apples. Seal the jars and place in a pressure canner for 30 minutes.
