These are great beans to use in Bloody Mary's, or on an appetizer tray, or in your brown bag. I recommend starting with the 1/4 tsp. cayenne unless you know you really like the extra heat. Prep time does not include preparing the jars for canning. Ingredients:
2 lbs green beans, washed and trimmed at ends (do not snap beans) |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, per jar (according to your heat preference) or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon tabasco sauce per jar (according to your heat preference) |
2 garlic cloves, per jar, whole and peeled |
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds, per jar (optional) |
1 head dill, per jar (or 1/2 tsp. dill weed) |
5 cups distilled vinegar |
1/2 cup pickling salt |
5 cups water |
Directions:
1. Prepare jars for canning.
2. Bring vinegar, salt and water to a boil.
3. In the bottom each hot sterilized jar, put the garlic cloves, cayenne pepper, mustard seed, and dill.
4. Pack jars with fresh green beans, packed lengthwise.
5. Do not snap beans.
6. Process for 20 minutes at 1000' altitude, or adjust time according to your altitude.
