Dilled Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 2 quarts of water to boil. Add green beans and boil for 5 minutes or until beans are just tender. Plunge the beans in cold water to set their color, drain well.
• In a large bowl combine salt, mustard seed, dill weed, chiles, dill seed and garlic. Mix. Add cooled beans to the bowl and stir.
• In a small saucepan bring 2 cups water, vinegar, sugar and salt (to taste) to boil. Pour this mixture over the beans and spices. Mix well.
• Chill the beans in an airtight container at least overnight before eating. The beans are best if given a week to marinate refrigerated before eating.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the water, green pepper, onion, bouillon and dill. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the beans. Cover and simmer 8-10 minutes longer or until beans are crisp-tender; drain.

Steps:

• Clean and Cut beans to fit in tall Mason Jars. (one pint).
• Place ingredients 2-5 into each jar.
• Add beans to jar(s) until full.
• Bring to boil ingredients 6-8.
• Pour boiling liquid over beans.
• Tighten lids.
• Process in boiling water for 5 minutes. *Correction: Processing time should be 10-15 min, not 5.*.
• I use what ever amount of beans I have on hand and make the liquid accordingly.

Steps:

• Fill a pot with water. Season with salt so that you can taste it. Bring to a boil.
• Plunge beans into water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until just tender but still quite firm. If you're using green beans, it will take a minute or so longer. Drain. Return beans to pot. Add butter, stir in 2 tablespoons dill and season with pepper.
• Stir and toss beans in pot over low heat, until butter is melted. Taste a bean and season with salt and more pepper, or dill, if desired.

Steps:

• Sterilize 6 (1/2 pint) jars with rings and lids and keep hot. Trim green beans to 1/4 inch shorter than your jars.
• In a large saucepan, stir together the vinegar, water and salt. Add garlic and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. In each jar, place 1 sprig of dill and 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Pack green beans into the jars so they are standing on their ends.
• Ladle the boiling brine into the jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Discard garlic. Seal jars with lids and rings. Place in a hot water bath so they are covered by 1 inch of water. Simmer but do not boil for 10 minutes to process. Cool to room temperature. Test jars for a good seal by pressing on the center of the lid. It should not move. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal properly. Let pickles ferment for 2 to 3 weeks before eating.

Steps:

• Wash beans, push together as close as you can in a pint jar. Try to push as many beans as you can into one pint jar.
• In a Pint Jar Add: crushed red pepper, mustard seed, dill seed, and garlic.
• Combine vinegar, salt, and water and put on stove.
• Heat to a boil. Process 5 minutes after boiling starts.
• Tip: I put the lid on the stove to on warm so when I put the mixture in it will close tightly and won't come undone.
• Fill jars and seal.
• Tip: Do not spill the mixture on you- it is hot and will burn you.
• Wait 3 months before opening.
• This makes 10 pints.
