makes 4 pints or 2 quarts

  * 2 lbs of green beans
  * 1/4 cup canning salt
  * 2 1/2 cups vinegar (I use apple cider or white wine)
  * 2 1/2 cups of water
  * 1 tsp cayenne pepper divided
  * 4 cloves of garlic
  * 4 heads of dill

Trim off ends of green beans. combine salt, vinegar, and water in saucepan and bring to boil. Pack beans lengthwise into hot jars and add 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper, 1 clove of garlic, and 1 head of dill to each pint jar --double for quart jars. Ladle hot brine into jars leaving 1/4 in head space. Process for 1- min in boiling canner.
