Quick pickled dilly beans
This is an adaptation of a fairly standard, traditional recipe for dilled green beans. Rather than blanching fresh green beans and processing the jars, the slightly cool brine is poured over thinly sliced onion and Truitt Bros. whole Blue Lake green beans in quart jars.
These beans are great in everything, but you’ll probably end up eating them straight from the jar because they’re just plain delicious. The longer they sit, the better they seem to taste. (If you do a nice job of standing the beans up in four-pint jars before covering them with the brine, no one will know you didn’t sweat over a canner in the hot summer months.) Store in the refrigerator.4 cups Truitt Bros. whole Blue Lake green beans
4 cups Truitt Bros. whole Blue Lake green beans
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2/3 cup sugar
1 1?2 cups white vinegar
1 1?2 cups water
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried dill, or 4 sprigs fresh dill
2 teaspoons salt
Alternate the beans and onion slices in two one-quart jars. If you are using fresh dill, put two sprigs in each jar.
Combine the garlic, sugar, vinegar, water, spices and salt. Bring to a boil and allow to stand until the mixture is at room temperature. Pour over the beans and onions. Refrigerate 12 hours or longer.

Cook them in a pot with bacon and a little water, not boiling them, and throw in some new red skinned potatoes. Season with a little garlic pepper seasoning.
I steam them and put pepper and vinegar on them while they are steaming, and sometimes I add a little bit of garlic. it's really good.
