No, you should not put jars directly on the bottom of a pot when canning, as this can lead to uneven heating and potential breakage. Instead, use a canning rack or a towel in the bottom of the pot to create a barrier between the jars and the pot. This ensures proper water circulation and even heat distribution, which are crucial for safe canning.

How did people can vegetables in the early 1940s?
Canning in the early 1940's is not so different from home canning today. Glass canning jars are used along with a two piece lid. One part of the lid fits the mouth of the jar and is designed to seal under high heat. The second part to the lid is a ring that screws onto the jar to hold the seal in place until it has sealed. Jars and lids are sterilized before use. In the 1940's they would have been put into a pot of boiling water for several minutes. You can do the same now or use the dishwasher. The food is prepared to be canned. Most vegetables are cleaned and blanched, which means immersing them briefly in boiling water, then an ice bath. Fruits, meat and fish can go in as is. The jars are packed tightly so as not to waste space and then water is added to fill the jar. You can also add sugar to fruit. The lids are put on and the jars are immersed in a pot of boiling water. The length of time they remain is dependent on what you are canning. You can also use a pressure cooker for this step. Once the jars are done, they are removed with tongs and placed on a kitchen towel to rest undisturbed. Within the next several hours, you should hear the cans pop, which means they have sealed. Any jars that have not sealed within several hours can be re-done using a new seal or put into the refrigerator to be consumed within the next few days.

How can you can green beans?
Like other veggies, canning beans requires a pressure canner. Other acidic fruits, salsa and jams can be canned with a hot water bath canner. Pressure Canners will have directions in them for canning beans, depending on the type of bean you are canning. (When I was young, my mother used to can green beans in a hot water canner. We would put fresh green beans in jars with water, put the lids on loosely, place in the canner containing the same temperature water and heat to boiling, Boil for several minutes, then remove the jars and tighten the lids. As the jars cooled, the water and hot air inside would shrink, causing a vacuum which made the jar lids pop down and seal tight. We then put the jars in a cool dark storage area and ate them all year until the next harvest. Any jar that failed to seal became that nights supper. Boiling the jars and the water inside them killed any bacteria that could cause the beans to spoil, as well as anything that could cause disease. This method has been in use for hundreds of years and more information is readily available on the net.)
