Haley, Jeremy and Brittney are first cousins. Their fathers are brothers. Jeremy is holding my daughter Brittney's baby Addyson. Addy is the first of the Aynessazian second cousins. Does that make sense?

PICKLED GREEN BEANS

This recipe is one of the best pickled beans I have ever tasted. They are easy and quick so that makes them even better. I give a jar as gifts to many of my friends who often call wanting to know if I have another jar I can spare.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds fresh green beans
  • 2 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 bunch fresh dill weed
  • 1 Thai pepper (optional) I like the way the peppers look in the jar.
  • or 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

Directions

  1. Sterilize 6 (1/2 pint) jars with rings and lids and keep hot. Trim green beans to 1/4 inch shorter than your jars.
  2. In a large saucepan, stir together the vinegar, water and salt. Add garlic and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. In each jar, place 1 sprig of dill and 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Pack green beans into the jars so they are standing on their ends.
  3. Ladle the boiling brine into the jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Discard garlic. Seal jars with lids and rings. Place in a hot water bath so they are covered by 1 inch of water. Simmer but do not boil for 10 minutes to process. Cool to room temperature. Test jars for a good seal by pressing on the center of the lid. It should not move. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal properly. Let pickles ferment for 2 to 3 weeks before eating.
