 Last week Bill Flavin "discovered" dilly beans and requested a recipe.


 Herewith is a good one, along with an outstanding recipe provided by my


 wife for dilly okra. We slice a fresh hab in half lengthwise and add it to


 each pint jar of pickles in each of these recipes.


 


 Choose long, unblemished green beans and trim ends if desired.  Wash under


 cold water and drain.  Sterilize 4 pint jars, then pack beans vertically in


 hot jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.  To each jar add 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1


 clove garlic, and 1/4 of the dill.  Combine salt, vinegar, and water in a


 saucepan and bring to a boil.  Pour over beans to cover, leaving 1/4-inch


 headspace.  Remove any air bubbles by stirring gently with a long, thin


 object such as a chopstick or a spoon handle. Cover each jar with a lid and


 ring and process 10 minutes in a hot water bath. Let ripen at least 2 weeks


 and preferably a month. (4 pints)
