Dilly Beans

Sterilize canning jars and lids. Pack beans lengthwise into hot, sterile pint jars. To each jar add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 garlic clove, and 1 sprig of dill. Combine salt, vinegar, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour, boiling hot, over beans, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Seal with sterilized lids according to manufacturer's instructions. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Yield: 4 pints.
