  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         fresh green beans -- stem ends trimmed
   2      cloves        garlic -- peeled
                        cayenne pepper -- to taste
   3      large         sprigs fresh dill
   1 1/4  cups          cider vinegar
   1 1/4  cups          water
   2      tablespoons   coarse salt

Blanch beans in boiling water until tender but still crunchy, about 3 - 4
minutes.  Drain and run under cold water immediately to halt cooking.

Place 1 one clove garlic, cayenne to taste and 1 1/2 sprigs dill into each
of two sterilized pint jars.  Pack beans upright into the jars, to fit
within 14" of the rim.  In a non-reactive saucepan, bring vinegar, water and
salt to a boil; pour hot liquod into the jars leaving 1/4" head space.  Seal
and proces the jars in a boiling-water barth for 5 minutes.

Store for at least 2 weeks in a cool, dark place before eating.  Serve cold
from the refrigerator.
