My column, The Alchemical Kitchen, for the Catalyst Magazine, is due today. August's column will be all about pickling, September's about canning, and November's about drying/dehydrating/storing.
But, instead of writing about pickling, I have spent the better part of this afternoon wandering around the new farmers' market at The Yard, buying more veggies, pickling them, and blogging about pickling. It could be seen as research, but if I'm being honest it's really procrastination -an opportunity for me to listen to 140 (!!!) new songs my dear friend Nala sent me. The sun is shinning, the music has been turned up, and I'm rotating between jars of dilly green beans and carrots in the hot water bath. My column may just have to wait until the wee hours of tomorrow morning.
Have a great weekend!
Dilly Green Beans
Green Beans
Fresh Dill
Garlic Cloves, peeled
Kosher or Pickling Salt
Vinegar
Water
For each 1 quart jar: Pack green beans, standing tall with ends trimmed, tightly in jar. Add 1 full sprig of Dill, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Fill jar with 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar, leaving 1/4 inch of head space at the top of the jar. Place on two piece metal lids and tighten. Process in hot water bath or just a large pot of boiling water (both need to be at rolling boil for entire time) for 25 minutes.

your beans sound good will have to check out your column Rebecca
I wanted to can spicy pickled green beans. I read about it in a magazine this week. They were served on top of bloody marys...yum
Oooooooooo, on top of bloody marys. Yummmmmmmm.
Thanks for the link to your articles! I'm particularly interested in reading about sprouting and home beer brewing (I mean, my husband would be interested in that one!) 8-)
I've never canned, pickled or dehydrated but now is as good a time as any to start. Those beans look delicious!
I adore pickled beans. I agree with Kristin - these would be perfect in a Bloody Mary.
Those sound great!!! Growing up my Dad taught me how to can/preserve just about everything but green beans is something we never did! I like this idea!
I see you are in Park City. My husband and I vacationed there this past Christmas and I fell in love!! Beautiful there!
Pickled greens beans sound great! I've only pickled things a couple of times, but there are so many options of vegetables I'd like to try.
bah, i'd count it as research anyways. :) (the green beans sound delish!)
Such a good feeling to can your own, isn't it? I did dilled green beans and carrots from my garden last summer, yum. Your jars look so lovely!
This does look pretty good.
