One Pint Dilly Beans -Canning Recipe

This is a year of off timing for the garden... Seems that when something is ready to be picked, we aren't having Sunday dinner. So I shared some veggies with neighbors and work, and tried to use up everything I could. I ended up with just enough string beans to fill a jar so, here we have One Pint Dilly Beans. This is a water bath canning recipe, and while it does require a little work, it's a good kind of work:@) Now my only decision is, do I want to eat them now, or save them for colder weather when the garden is done...

The jar once done canning:

Don't worry if the beans are shriveled,

they will plump back up when cool:@)

I have a No-Canning Refrigerator Dilly Beans recipe here.
