Does anyone have a recipe they are willing to share for Canned Dill Green Beans? The beans are coming like mad and I love good Dill Green Beans. Unfortunately the recipes I have tried haven’t been up to snuff. Thanks.

back when I did them I used the same recipe as my dill pickles. Add the same ingredients, dill, onion and garlic.

Thanks. I have tried with these ingredients, just can’t seem to get the proportions right. Was hoping for a shortcut to prevent further experimantation.

Here’s one

Brad, when i did the beans my brine was not boiled, it was cold. i never heated anything and it was basically a fridge. i never sealed the jars either.

i came to the conclusion yesterday if I dont get a decent rain here real soon, and seeing what i have for cukes or lack of on the vines……..i’ll be pulling them soon. same with my green peppers.

15 pints salsa done today.

Harvested my first Okra.
Don’t got a clue as to what to do with it.

Thanks for the responses regarding pickled beans. I think I’ll give Bearcat’s recipe a crack with the addition of some mustard seed. I can my beans in a hot water bath for storage in a basement pantry. Beans and asparagus are the only pickled products I really like other than dill pickles made by a guy I know from deer hunting who won’t give me his Grandma’s recipe. He feeds me all the pickles I can eat but won’t share the recipe…

that stinks when that happens. I don’t see the point???

This is the second picking from my first peach tree. Got over 35 dozen in 3 pickings. Not counting pulling over a hundred a few weeks ago to keep limbs from breaking. Still 5 dozen hanging. Amazing with 3” of rain he last 8 weeks. Still have two more trees different variety that are supposed to ripen 2 weeks apart. They are also loaded but peaches are smaller. We bought a case of Georgia peaches a month ago and threw most of them away.

The one in the green bucket must have cross pollinated.

That is a lot of peaches. Nice haul.

I can go through this whole thread and last years thread later, but has anyone posted a good salsa recipe?

Eat it. They’re not as slimy if eaten raw, but I don’t mind them any way. Chunk ’em up and give ’em the fish fry treatment if you want them cooked. Frozen ones get a sauté in butter, bacon grease, duck fat or whatever and make a nice side for me. My wife won’t eat them.

Whatever recipe you pick dont ruin it with a bunch of cilantro.

Ahh, cilantro. The love it or hate it herb. Personally, I love it, but not the first time I ate it. Nothing else tastes like that.

Here ya go DT. let me explain celery is optional, I grow my own .

The ICBINB.,Is the I can’t believe it’s not butter containers.

The rectangle thing is about as equivalent to the butter containers.

The Garlic container is equivalent to about 3/4 cup garlic.

That was the lone cuke for the day. First year struggling with them. Maybe 3 or 4 a week. Neighbor is throwing in the cornfield behind the house. I moved my garden 50′ farther from the farm field due to it being sprayed 3 to 5x’s a year. Think the soil in the new spot needs some work.

Cilantro is a powerful herb, esp fresh. Our salsa is loaded with it. Then I sprinkle it over the top of everything fresh from the bed outside the back door. We ate at a Mexican restaurant a while back. On the menu it was an added charge for cilantro.

Im not a big fan of peaches but one year my dads tree produced like that and they were delicious. They were so delicate when picked ripe you know the stuff in the store ripens in the truck. Tree died the following year.

i had about a third of a pint left over. tasted tested it this moring……..yum……yummy!!!!!!!!

Cross pollination,
My pumpkins got into my spaghetti squash and are one big mess. Some of my pumpkins have taken on the shape of a squash. Is this from cross pollination or just misshaped pumpkins? A few of my pumpkins from the same plant that are away from the squash are perfectly round.

Picked up a cooler (48 or 54qt) full of cut and washed green beans from my wife’s connection at a popular brand name vegetable canning operation. The two bags take up the entire bottom shelf of my fridge. Traded for a pint of cherry tomatoes and three beefsteaks. Not a bad deal. Got my work cut out for me blanching and freezing, pressure canning some. and my favorite, dilly beans.

Here are the tomatoes we picked this morning. The big yellow one is #1.1 and is a beefsteak variety called Dr. Wyche’s Yellow. Creative, huh?
