Dilly Beans

This is my mom's famous recipe for canned "dilly beans". She uses fresh dill grown in her backyard. You'll like them if you like pickles. There is never a Dunaway function without them. Wash fresh green beans and snip off the ends.  Put 1 clove garlic and  1 head dill (when it reaches the seed stage) in a pint-sized jar, then pack the jar tight with as many beans that will fit. Brine: 2 c. vinegar 2 c. water 1/4 c. salt - no iodine! 1/4 t. cayenne pepper Heat brine & warm lids. Cold pack in water bath & boil for 10 minutes. If you're like me and have never canned before, that may have sounded like Chinese, but I'm posting it for my canning guru friend. I think someday I'll get there. I would guess there would be a time to wait to make sure the pickling process was complete, but I don't know how long that would be.

Baked Beans

So what if nobody has posted in a year and a half? I got this recipe from my cousin Carolyn and needed to type it up. I really love the contrast of the different beans in this one. Great for bar-b-q's and potlucks. 1 lb ground beef (I did not include this. To me, putting ground beef in baked beans turns it to chili.) 1 lb bacon 1 onion, diced 1 15 oz can butter beans, with liquid 1 15 oz can red kidney beans, drained & rinsed 1 15 oz can pork & beans 3/4 c brown sugar 1/2 c ketchup 2 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Brown bacon and drain. Cook onion in some reserved bacon grease. Combine the rest of ingredients and pour in a greased casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 350 for 1 hour.
