HOT BEAN PICKLES


(recipe from my friend Vicky C.)

Wax or green beans
1 tbsp. dill seed
1 clove of garlic
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Brine:
4 cups white vinegar
5 cups water
1/4 cup pickling salt

Sterilize jars by laying them down on rack in over. Put in oven at 250'F for half hour.
Boil beans for 3 minutes, drain and cool. Put dill seed in each bottom of jars, plus 1 clove of garlic and cayenne pepper.

Brine: bring to a boil vinegar, water and salt. Pack jars with beans and fill jars with hot brine and seal right away. Turn upside down overnight. Let stand 3 to 6 months before eating.
