We are a non microwave cooking home.

I personally, do not like pickled stuff...but someone at hubby's work brought in some dilly beans and he loved them so got the recipe and had me make some for him. I can't vouch for their flavor as I didn't even try them. In the name of love I made them for him knowing I'd never eat them.

Here's the recipe:

Dilly Beans (canning recipe)

2 1/2 c. vinegar
2 1/2 c. water
1/4 c. salt
green beans (ends cut off)
1/4 tsp. hot red pepper or slices of habaneros (to taste)
dill (fresh or dried dill weed)
1 to 3 cloves garlic (to taste)

Boil the vinegar/water/salt mixture. Sanitize jars and fill tightly with dill, green beans, garlic, and hot pepper. Pour liquid over top, leaving 1/2 inch headroom in jar. Process in hot water canner 10 minutes. Makes about 2 quarts.
