Discard any that are wilted or discolored. In a
saucepan combine water, vinegar, pickling salt, sugar,

simmer for 10 minutes. Drop beans into boiling water
and cook for just 5 minutes. They must still be
crisp. Drain immediately and rinse in cold water.

slices of onion. Add 1 hot pepper, 1 clove garlic,
and a sprig of dill to each jar and pour hot vinegar
mixture over the beans to overflowing. Seal
immediately. Makes 8 8-ounce jars.

Thinly cut carrots or other firm vegetables may be
used in place of or in addition to the beans.
