Last week I tried something new. I have been picking a lot of green beans from our garden. I was not sure what to do with all of them. After hearing several people talk about pickled or dilly beans, I decided to give them a try. I hope we like them because I now have 10 pints.
I’d love to know how you like these, I’ve heard about them but never tried.
I love pickled veggies, I’ll have to try this. When you get a chance stop by my blog, I left you an award!
They are a must-make here every year. My family doesn’t eat a lot of pickles, but dilly beans are an exception.
They are also a great gift idea. My hubby’s friend was thrilled to find them in a gourmet shop a few years ago and when I’ve seen them in the store, they are over $6 a jar. So, if for some reason you don’t love them, pack them up with other goodies and give them as gifts.
My uncle used to make dilly beans all the time. I haven’t had them in years, but I still remember the taste. Yum!
I started making ‘dilly beans’ a few years ago when my 4 100 foot rows of green beans gave an over abundance. I had been making garlic sweet pickles and tried that brine. It is a favorite. We eat the pickled beans like pickles. They stay crunchy even after 3 years!!
I love these! We have been making them for years!! My hubs great Uncle grows enough green beans for me to make at least four batches to last us a whole year. Hubs likes them spicy. I love pickled asparagus best but these come in second
