  ~------------------------------------------------------
  ~----------------- Wash beans and snip off ends.
  Discard any that are wilted or discolored. In a
  saucepan combine water, vinegar, pickling salt, sugar,
  bay leaves, and onions.  Bring liquid to a boil and
  simmer for 10 minutes.  Drop beans into boiling water
  and cook for just 5 minutes.  They must still be
  crisp. Drain immediately and rinse in cold water.
  Pack beans upright in 8-ounce jars with a couple of
  slices of onion.  Add 1 hot pepper, 1 clove garlic,
  and a sprig of dill to each jar and pour hot vinegar
  mixture over the beans to overflowing.  Seal
  immediately. Makes 8 8-ounce jars.
  NOTE:
  ~----
  Thinly cut carrots or other firm vegetables may be
  used in place of or in addition to the beans.
