my green beans started bubbling up out of the jar just a week after I canned them, I thought where I left them in the garage it got too hot on them. The ones that where in the basement didn't bubble but they smell terrible! I have no clue what I done wrong. I spent alot of time and money (on jars, lids and rings)on over 3 bushels of green beans and my heart is broken. Someone tell me what went wrong so I won't go through this again next summer. This is the first time this has happened in over ten years of canning.

You probably didn't process them long enough.

Do you use new lids every year or reuse the old ones? Did they "pop"? Or maybe they were not sterile enough. You could also call your local county extension office and get advise from the home ec division. I've just canned fig preserves and pear preserves, never green beans.

maybe the lids didn't seal right ..but i know that must have been frustrating
