Your green beans just won't give up and die? You could mow them off... or try this! The recipe came from my neighbor. It was originally for dilled carrots, but she adapted it for beans. She brought us a pint, and we all loved them. Our three year old would hack & sputter, and then ask for another one. My husband said they were even better than dill pickles, because they were crunchier. I spent a considerable amount of time picking the thinnest and straightest, but I wouldn't recommend that because they looked a bit more shriveled than the ones that she gave us. She used ones that I
would have said were a bit too big, but were great for pickling.
