Dill Beans

Sort out tender fresh green beans without removing the stem end. Leave them all whole! They should be about the length of a pint size mason jar or shorter.

• Place in the bottom of pint size mason jars:
• 1/4 t. cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 large head of dill
• 1 clove of garlic
• onion slice

I cut my onion in half and then slice them about 1/4″ thick. I place one of the full slices into the jar. Then I fill the jar with the beans, standing up so that the stem is at the top. When you go to eat them from the jar, you pull the stem to remove it from the jar!

Pour the hot salt water solution over the beans. Adjust the lids and rings. Process in a hot water bath canner for about 10 minutes. Sometimes it has been 15 minutes and they start getting mushy.

• SALT WATER SOLUTION:
• 2 c. water
• 1/4 c. pickling salt
• 2 c. white vinegar

Bring to a boil, stir, and fill jars.
