Pickled Green Beans - cjs - 10-06-2008 Finally got these where Roy really likes them and even I like them in Bloody Marys also! Those of you who like dill, why not just add it - we prefer not to have it. Roy's Favorite Pickled Green Beans 2 lbs green beans 4 sprig fresh rosemary 4 clove garlic, peeled 4 3" strips lemon peel 4 med serrano peppers 2 1/2 c water 2 1/2 c white wine vinegar 3 T. pickling salt 2 T. sugar 4 Grape leaves Bring a large canner of water to a boil. Sterilize 4 pint jars and their lids according to mfg. instructions. Evenly trim the ends of the green beans to fit the jars. (3 1/2") Place one grape leaf in the bottom of jar. Divide and pack the beans, rosemary, garlic, peppers and lemon peels among the jars. In a medium pan, combine the water, vinegar, salt and sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 mintues, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Re: Pickled Green Beans - iBcookin - 10-06-2008 Jean, what do the grape leaves do for the recipe? And are they just everyday, ordinary grape leaves? Re: Pickled Green Beans - cjs - 10-07-2008 yes, just everyday grape leaves. You know I have no idea about the reason for the grape leaf...this sounds silly, but my mother always did it with her pickles, so I follow the same practice. Re: Pickled Green Beans - Lorraine - 10-07-2008 I've never used grape leaves (just because I don't have any), but I've heard it keeps the pickles crisp. Haven't made dilled beans in a few years, and I sure do miss them! Enjoy them in the martinis! Re: Pickled Green Beans - ozarklm - 10-07-2008 Oh, those sound really good...we loved pickled anything! Can't wait to try this! Re: Pickled Green Beans - Old Bay - 10-07-2008 Next time we see you all I want some in a bloody!! Re: Pickled Green Beans - cjs - 10-08-2008 You are on, Mr. Bill! |
