Pickled Spiced Beans
=
===================================
I start with a 1 quart canning jar with a new lid and clean ring. I clean
the jar and soak it in hot water to ensure that it is hot. I fill the jar
with beans, standing them all on end. Once I have the amount of beans in the
jar that I am going to can, I fill the jar with hot water, then carefully
pour the water into a measuring cup. Remembering what the amount was that I
poured out of the jar, I dump half of the water out and replace with the
same amount of white vinegar [now have a half and half solution of water and
vinegar]. Pour the vinegar/water in a pan and bring to a boil. While the
vinegar/water is heating up I peel the biggest clove of garlic I can get my
hands on and split it in half and jam it in amongst the beans [sometimes I
cheat and add 2]. Next I add 1 teaspoon of fresh ground dried red pepper to
the jar. Next, I add 1 tablespoon of pickling spice to the jar. Once the
vinegar/water comes to a boil, pour it into the jar, hopefully I have
measured right so that I now have left a 1/2" head space. Quickly put the
lid on the jar and the ring and tighten. If done quickly enough, the jar
will seal itself without canning. Put this jar in the pantry and try very
hard to leave your hands off for at least two months.
