I canned green tomato relish, hot sauce, red sauce and green beans last year. I planted 6 tomato plants, so I know I'll be really busy in a few months! This recipe for beans is great:
Dilled Green Beans
8 oz fresh green beans
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup water
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3 gloves garlic
5 sprigs fresh dill
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (opt.)
Cut beans to neatly to fit into jar. Steam them until crisp-tender 3-5 min. Bring vinegar, water, sugar and salt to rolling boil. Pack beans in clean, dry jar. Mash garlic with flat side of knife, discard skin and tuck between beans in jar. Tuck in the dill sprigs then sprinkle in red pepper. Pour vinegar mixture into jar until it reaches the top (u may have extra) Screw on lid and shake. Let stand at room temp for 8 hours, then transfer to refrigerator. Allow at least 24 hours before eating and can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
I'm sure if you canned maybe with a water bath, then they would last longer, but these are really good! The recipe also quadruples well.
