I made the following recipe last summer and was happy with the results. It
came from Better Homes and Gardens, 6/98, with modifications.
OVERNIGHT GARDEN DILLS
!/2 lb trimmed green beans
1 !/2 cups packaged peeled baby carrots
1/2 cup cider vinegar
!/4 cup water
! tablespoon chopped fresh red chile peppers
2 cloves minced garlic
!/2 teaspoon salt
!/2 Teaspoon crushed red pepper
!/4 cup fresh dill or 1 tablespoon dried dillweed
2 small cucumbers, cut in spears
Cook green beans in water for 2 minutes, add carrots and cook 2 more minutes,
drain.
Mix vinegar, water, chile peppers, garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper in a
pan, bring to a boil, remove from heat, and add dill.
Put beans, carrots, and cucumber spears in a bowl and pour vinegar mixture
over. let stand till cool, then put in a plastic bag or some other container
that can be sealed.
Refrigerate overnight or up to three days.
You could leave out the carrots and cucumbers and add more beans and fresh or
dried chiles to your own taste, like I did. Some of the mix stayed in the
refrigerator until Thanksgiving, and tasted OK, but Strong. It didn't kill me,
so it must have been well pickled, but it was better fresh.
