Instructions: Pack beans, lengthwise, into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. For each pint, add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, 1 clove garlic, and 1 head dill.

Combine remaining ingredients and bring to boiling. Pour boiling hot over beans, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Adjust caps. Process pints and quarts 10 minutes in boiling water bath.

This recipe yields about 4 pints or 2 quarts.

Comments: You may just use the leftover brine from your favorite dill pickles. Bring it to a boil and pour over prepared beans in hot jars. Process as above. And dont limit yourself to beans and cucumbers - this works well for broccoli and carrots, too.

Yield: 4 pints
