That sounds good!<br /><br />To keep cucumber dills crisp, I make sure to trim off both ends of the cucumber. When I can get them, I also include a grape leaf in each jar because it has tannic acid that supposedly keeps pickles crisp. Some jars still seem to stay crisper than others.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-75974034110871208962015-08-08T13:29:09.698-04:002015-08-08T13:29:09.698-04:00I pickle cases of green beans every year - my husb...I pickle cases of green beans every year - my husband loves them - but I've never made dilly beans. The recipe he prefers uses basil and garlic. I chop the ends of my beans so they fit uniformly in the jars. I don't usually use wide mouth jars, but I find I sort of like them better for pickling green beans, as they are easier to pack.<br /><br />I've never got a batch of pickled dill cucumbers to stay crisp though - do you have a secret for that?<br /><br />Cute family photo!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879162672311458964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-64732089760143518342015-08-07T14:56:54.717-04:002015-08-07T14:56:54.717-04:00You guys are so great!

I recently tried out a different bean pickle, and my beans were all varying lengths (and curvy) so I decided to go the easy way and cut them in half and pack them in without worrying about presentation. I envision using them in salads rather than on a pickle tray.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139188188043795169noreply@blogger.com
