1. Did anyone answer the question yet as to how long these dilly beans need to sit before they can be opened andeaten after processing them. My beans also look wilted after 15 mins in the water bath canner. I really think I only should have processed them for a maximum of 10 mins. Could anyone give me some feedback about theirs.

2. I followed the recipe to a T, with one exception….I added a wild grape leaf to each jar. Beans were even crispier than without it!!!   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal thescherbarths Reply

1. These are great! Dilly Beans are easy, fun, and a perfect beginning canning project. Here is a note for beginners: despite what some reviewers may post, it is NOT advisable to alter the proportions of vinegar/water/salt/sugar in a canning recipe. Canning is about chemistry; the right chemistry preserves your food...the wrong chemistry can fail to preserve the food, and people who consume it can become quite ill or worse. This is why measurements need to be exact, and recipes should come from a reliable source. Please read about proper canning practices in a publication like the Ball Blue Book.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal livalips Reply 8
2. These were great. They were crisp and spicy, but not too spicy. These beans will become a yearly event in my house.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Lt. Amy Reply 3
3. This recipe was super easy. I had a ton of green beans freshly picked out of the garden and decided to use this recipe. I canned two months ago and just opened my first can. Just the right spice and taste was just right. Very happy!

4. In response to several statements about measurements. It is extremely important to follow tested & safe recipe. However, the measurement of salt, sugar and other spices do NOT preserve your food, they are only for taste. It is the vinegar and water that must NOT be changed. You can find this information in any current food and safety canning on line. A good source is the National Center for Home Food Preservation (http://nchfp.uga.edu/questions/FAQ_canning.html#17). The only time the salt and sugar is a must is when using a dehydrating such as meats. These salt and sugar answers can scare beginning canners. Many people cannot safely consume this much salt or sugar as a recipe calls for.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal hholder118 Reply 2
