Dilly Beans

Since I've already posted lots of gardening stuff this week, how about a canning post today instead?!?  For the first time, I canned dilly beans..

I think they look pretty tasty.  They are supposed to remain unmolested for two weeks to allow those lovely beans to 'pickle'.  *taps fingers*  Now I have to wait.

Just for the record, I grew these beans with this canning project in mind.  I'm really pleased with this variety of bean.  They are so straight and smooth, made it easy to get them in the jars.  Now I just need to figure out what to do with the other 75% of the crop.  May have to make a few more jars of dilly beans!

Thanks to my awesome daughter Carin and her gracious in-laws for this recipe.
