Dilly Beans Canning Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds green beans about six cups
  • 1/4 cup canning salt
  • 2 1/2 cups vinegar I used white
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided I used the flakes, not the powder
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 heads dill

Instructions

  • Wash beans, and trim ends off. I measured my beans to within 1/4″ from the rim of my pint jars and snipped them to size.
  • Combine salt, vinegar and water in a large saucepot.
  • Bring to boil.
  • Pack beans lengthwise into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  • Add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 clove garlic and 1 head dill to each pint jar.
  • Add 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 2 cloves garlic and 2 heads dill to each quart jar. Ladle hot liquid over beans, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  • Remove air bubbles.
  • Adjust two-piece caps.
  • Process pints and quarts 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 4 pint jars.
