INGREDIENTS
| 2 | lb | Green Beans; Trimmed |
| 1/4 | c | Salt |
| 4 | Fresh Dill; Heads | |
| 4 | Garlic Cloves | |
| 1 | tb | Red Pepper Flakes; Optional |
| 2 1/2 | c | White Vinegar |
| 2 1/2 | c | Water |
INSTRUCTIONS
Pack beans, lengthwise, into hot hars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. To each pint, add 1/4 ts. cayenne pepper, 1 clove garlic and 1 head dill. Combine remaining ingredients and bring to boiling. Pour, boiling hot, over beans, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Remove air bubbles with a chopstick. Adjust caps. Process pints and quarts 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Yield: About 4 pints. NOTES : Delicious, and an excellent gift. Great on a relish tray with Pickled Sweet Red Peppers. I omit the cayenne pepper from this as our family doesn't like spicy foods very much. Also - and this is IMPORTANT - these need to mellow for at least a month or two (longer is better) to develop the best flavor. If you open a jar right away you will think they are too salty and/or vinegary! Recipe by: The Blue Book, Ball Corp. Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #777 by teech <teech@concentric.net> on Sep 09, 1997
