Dilly Green Beans Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
4 lb table perfect whole green beans
1 3/4 tsp crushed dried hot red pepper
3 1/2 tsp dried dill seed, or 7 fresh dill he, ads
7 cloves fresh garlic
5 cup vinegar
5 cup water
1 cup less 1 tablespoon pickling salt (no, n-iodized)
Recipe
Preparation
Wash beans thoroughly, remove stems and tips, and cut them as much as
possible in uniform lengths to allow them to stand upright in 1-pint
canning jars, coming to the shoulder of the jar. Have jars clean and
very hot, and lids and sealers ready in scalding water. In each jar
place 1 dill head or 1/2 teaspoon dill seed, add 1 garlic clove and
1/4 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper. Pack beans upright in jars,
leaving 1 inch of headroom. Heat together the water. vinegar and
salt; when the mixture boils, pour it over the beans, filling each
jar to 1/2 inch from the top. Run a plastic knife down and around to
remove trapped air, adjust lids, and process in a 185F. bath for 10
minutes after the water in the canner returns to a simmer. Remove
jars, complete seals if necessary.
The beans are almost garden-crisp, but the high acidity of the vinegar
allows this boiling-water bath to be safe for a low acid food.
If you substitute ground cayenne pepper for the crushed hot red
pepper, halve the amount of cayenne: use only 1/8 teaspoon cayenne to
each jar.
Wait at least two weeks for these beans to develop their flavor.

NOTE: I prefer to put in one whole dried or fresh (preferably)
serrano or Cayenne type pepper. It will not make the beans too
spicy, but will add a delightful tang, much as commercial pickled
"hot" okra, which is not really hot to my leather palate. JMH

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Use soy flour or bake mix.
When you have to use flour for baking, substitute it with soy flour or a baking mix like Atkins bake mix. In most situtations, you may convert your most popular recipes that use normal wheat flour to use these lowcarb alternatives.
* Understand the food labels
Watch out for the food label that proclaims 'low carb' - check the actual nutritional information on the reverse of the tin or packet. Some are only a little less and in some instances still more than a competitors usual brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes parsley, mangos and tomato ketchup)
These fruits and vegetables are rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene believed by nutritionalists to play a major part in helping prevent cancer, spefically cancer of the stomach and lesophagus. A good number also help you lose weight, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program.
