A Bit Of Spice Pickled Green Beans

This is a farmers market canning recipe. As many of you know I love the farmers market. I have my favorite farmers I buy from and of course my local bakery. Make sure you check out your farmers market. I was able to pick up my green beans and garlic at the market. The jalapeño came from my little garden.

1 jalapeño

3 lbs fresh green beans

6 cloves of garlic

3 3/4 cups white vinegar

3 3/4 cups water

1/3 pickling salt

1 tbs of dill

Recipe for 6 pint jars.

Make sure your jars have been washed and sanitized. I put my washed jars in my canning pot while it begins to boil. Along with my flats and lids. After several minutes remove jars and rims. Remove flats only when you are ready to place them on your jar.

Trim and cut beans to fit in jars with one inch of head room. Cut jalapeño into six slices, place and slice and one peeled clove of garlic in each jar.

Mix water, vinegar, salt and dill in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Stir to make sure your salt disolves.

Ladle vinegar atop leaving one inch of headroom.

Use your canning tool to remove air bubbles. Very important step.

Wipe rim of jar with dry clean cloth place flat and screw on rim finger tight. Not to tight.

Place jars into water bath. Bring water bath back to a boil. Make sure water covers the jars. Process for ten minutes and remove. Lids will pop as they cool. Check lids after 24 hours to make sure they are sealed.

Happy Eating!!

Taco Night

I know Taco night is So easy. I set mine up like a taco bar. My kids love taco night, they request it since everyone gets a taco just the way they want. Make Bean Dip for taco night. 1 lb shrimp 1 lb ground sirloin 2 packages your favorite taco seasoning (preservative free) 1 package shredded mexican blend cheese head of organic iceberg lettuce 2 organic tomatoes 2 Avocados 1 jar your favorite salsa (preservative free) 6 or more taco shells tortilla chips 1 container sour cream organic I little side note I have found some great seasonings, salsas and taco shells that are made local and are preservative free. Look around your grocery, you may find similar items. Directions Put beef and 1 package seasoning in skillet and break up while cooking until all meat is browned. In another skillet put your cleaned shrimp with shell and tail removed. Add other package of seasoning to shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink. Heat taco shells in oven according to directions.

I Have A Problem

I am writing something other than a recipe today. Because I wanted to let my readers know about my problem. The pictures I post, most of the time are my own of the food I make. I try to post something I have recently made at home so, I can give my readers a fresh picture of my food. So the dishes you see are my dishes. I have two small sets that I have mixed together. After many years of being married, my dishes from when we got married are very few. So when we made this last move I bought some dishes that were inexpensive but I really liked. However these dishes get hot when I reheat food in the microwave. So last year my mother-in-law gave me a nice gift card for my birthday to a department store. So I used that to buy a really nice set of dishes. They are supposed to be microwave and dishwasher safe. One day warming a piece of pizza in the microwave I hear a pop. I open the microwave and the dish has cracked all the way across. It was only in the microwave 30 seconds.
