Spicy pickled beans

[Sniper-T]

Not necessarily a favourite, but I do enjoy drowning a couple in a ceasar...

put up 4 jars as per this recipe:
four 2-cup (500 mL) jars

Ingredients
1 lb (454 g) green beans
1 lb (454 g) yellow wax beans
4 small hot red peppers
4 heads fresh dill
4 cloves garlic
4 tsp (18 mL) mustard seeds
2-1/2 cups (625 mL) water
2-1/2 cups (625 mL) white vinegar
2 tbsp (30 mL) pickling salt




Preparation


Cut green and yellow beans to 3-1/2-inch (9 cm) lengths, discarding stem end. Cut slit lengthwise in hot peppers. Set aside.

Into each of four 2-cup (500 mL) canning jars, pack 1 head dill, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp (5 mL) mustard seeds and 1 hot red pepper. Tightly pack in beans, cut side up.

In saucepan, bring water, vinegar and salt to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Pour into each jar, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) headspace.

Cover with prepared lids. Screw on bands until resistance is met; increase to fingertip tight. Boil in boiling water canner for 10 minutes.


All I had was green beans, so that's what I used. and I substituted serrano peppers (2 per pint)
