Pickled Green Beans

I use these in Bloody Marys, instead of celery sticks, and they are always a hit!

Step: 1

Cut green beans to fit inside pint canning jars.

Step: 2

Place green beans in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, for 3 minutes. Plunge beans into ice water. Drain well.

Step: 3

Pack the beans into four hot, sterilized pint jars. Place 1 clove garlic and 2 sprigs dill weed in each jar, against the glass. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to each jar.

Step: 4

In a large saucepan over high heat, bring vinegar and water to a boil. Pour over beans.

Step: 5

Fit the jars with lids and rings and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.
