Dilly Beans


Have you ever had Dilly Beans?  They are so good and a great salty summer treat to make.  
  
Here's what you need:

 fresh dill - 4 heads of dill (1 per jar) and 2 pounds of fresh green beans

4 fresh garlic cloves - 1 per jar, 2 1/2 cups white vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper- per jar, 1/4 cup pickling/canning salt and 2 1/2 cups water

Here's how simple it is:


cut green beans to fit in jars



add garlic, cayenne and head of dill to each jar of cut green beans

pour in liquid (boiling water, vinegar and salt) and screw on caps

put in boiling water canner and process for 10 minutes

I used the recipe in the Ball Blue Book - make sure you consult a recipe for proper canning instructions - give it a whirl!

  3. So happy I came across this! I’m planning on getting my feet wet next week and pickling some……uh, pickles! My neighbor requested that I throw some green beans in his jar of pickles. That was the 1st time I’ve ever heard of pickled green bean until I came across your post. I recently bought the Ball Jar preserve book. I’ll have to look through the cook book and see if I can find this recipe.
