2 1 quart canning jars with new rings &
-- lids
2 pounds fresh green beans -- trimmed
4 large spri dill
1 teaspoon celery seed
4 cloves garlic -- halved lengthwise
2 whole small dried chile peppers
1/4 teaspoon peppercorns
4 cups cider vinegar
1 cup water
6 tablespoons pickling salt

Lay a hot sterilized canning jar on its side, and slip in half of the green bea
ns. Stand the jar up, and add 2 dill sprigs, 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds, 2 garl
ic cloves, 1 dried chile pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon peppercorns. Repeat with oth
er jar.

Bring vinegar, water, and pickling salt to a full rolling boil in a medium sauc
epan over high heat. Pour the hot liquid into the two jars, dividing it evenly
. Wipe away any spills from the jars' lips. Screw on the lids and rings, and
let them cool completely at room temperature. Let the pickled beans stand for
at least 4 weeks before serving.

chance of bacterial growth. After cooling at room temperature, refrigeration i
s recommended. If you choose to use the hot water bath, the texture and color
might be altered.
