Local Dilly Beans
Local Dilly Beans
Dilly beans are pickled green beans flavored with dill and other aromatics. Leda Meredith and Ellen Zachos are experts at pickling and preserving* which allows them to enjoy the bounty of the harvest in the depths of winter, including these summer beans. Learn how to make simple pickles by processing in a boiling water bath.
This recipe, and processing instructions comes from Leda's book Botany, Ballet & Dinner from Scratch.
Makes 1 pint jar
Approximately 2 cups green or wax beans, washed and trimmed to fit jar lengthwise.
¾ cup wine vinegar
½ cup water
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon honey
1 sprig dill leaves or 1 dill flowerhead
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
1 small hot pepper, fresh or dried
1 clove garlic, peeled
Approximately 2 tablespoons olive oil
1. Tightly pack beans into a clean 1pint canning jar. It is easier to lay the beans in lengthwise if you put the jar on its side and slide the beans in that way. Add the herbs, pepper, and garlic as you go, placing the prettier ones like red chile pepper or bay leaf between the beans and the sides of the jar where they will show.
2. Bring the vinegar, water, sugar and slat to a boil. Pour over the other ingredients.
3. Top with olive oil to cover the surface, still leaving ½- inch head room.
4. Process in a boiling hot water bath for 10 minutes.
