Steps:

• Chop all veggies except celery to uniform size, about one inch or so.
• Add all of the first ingredients to jars leaving 1 inch of headroom.
• Add salt, pepper and garlic sliver to each pint jar then add the remaining corn, peas and green beans, the last is the boiling beef broth.
• I didn't leave the 1 inch of head space to each jar and they came out fine. Don't worry about the small amount of liquid. When the veggies cook they will produce plenty.
