Canning & Preserving

Ingredients

• 2-½ c white wine vinegar
• ¼ c sea salt
• 2-½ c water
• 4 lbs green beans, trimmed
• 8 cloves garlic, whole, peeled
• 4 red chilies, whole
• ¼ c fresh dill
• ½ T black peppercorns
• ½ T green peppercorns
• 1 t mustard seeds

Directions

1. Pour vinegar, salt, and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and simmer until ready to use.
2. Evenly distribute remaining ingredients to canning jars.
3. Ladle liquid into canning jars, leaving 1 inch from the top. Make sure rims are clean. If necessary, clean with a damp cloth.
4. Place lids on jars and close tight.
5. Place rack in bottom of pressure cooker. Place jars on the rack. Pour hot water over jars and into inner pot until water reaches ¼ of way up the sides of jars.
6. Set pressure cooker to "canning", adjust time to 10 minutes, and press "start/stop".
7. When done, natural release for 20 minutes, then do a quick release to make sure all pressure is released before opening lid.
8. Open. Using canning tongs, carefully remove hot jars and place on a heat-resistant surface. Allow to cool to room temperature.
9. When jars have completely cooled, remove the screw bands. Lids should be tightly sealed to the jar, and when pressed in the center, they should NOT have any "give" or springing motion. If they do, reprocess immediately.
