Good Old-Fashioned Dilly Beans

Classic dill-flavored green beans in a jar — snappy, garlicky, and addictive straight from the fridge.

Instructions

  1. Pack beans upright into hot jars with garlic and dill.
  2. Boil vinegar, water, and salt; pour over beans, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  3. Remove bubbles and wipe rims.
  4. Water-bath process 10 minutes for pints. Cool and store.

Chef's Notes

Choose beans of a similar length so they stand neatly in the jar. A grape leaf helps keep them crisp.
