ingredients

2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and rinsed
4 cloves garlic, crushed, peeled
8 sprigs fresh dill weed
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups white vinegar
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon powdered alum

directions

Cut green beans to fit inside pint canning jars.

Place green beans in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook about 3 minutes, until tender but still firm. Plunge beans into ice water. Drain well.

Pack beans in hot, sterilized pint jars. Place 1 clove garlic and 2 sprigs dill weed in each jar, against the glass. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to each jar.

In a large saucepan over high heat, bring vinegar, sugar and water to a boil. Pour over beans. Fit jars with sterile lids and rings and process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath
