To each clean, sterilized pint jar add:
Washed and stringed green beans (packed tightly)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp mustard seed
1/2 tsp dill seed
1/8 tsp alum
1 clove garlic

In pan add:
1/2 cup canning salt
5 cups vinegar (5%)
5 cups water

Heat until salt dissolves. Pour over beans. Seal and process in hot water bath for 5 minutes.

Admin note: 5 minutes is exactly right if you live at 1,000 feet or less above sea level. At 1,001 to 6,000 feet process 10 minutes. Over 6,000 feet process 15 minutes.

If you are processing less than 10 minutes, pre-sterilize the jars.  dk
