From the Ball Blue Book:

 

DILLY BEANS

yields about 4 pints or 2 quarts

 

2 pounds green beans

1/4 c canning salt (no iodine)

2 1/2 c vinegar

2 1/2 c water

1 tsp cayenne pepper, divided

4 cloves garlic

4 heads dill

 

Trim ends off beans. Combine salt, vinegar, and water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Pack beans lengthwise into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 clove garlic, and 1 head dill to each pint jar. (Add 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 2 cloves, and 2 heads dill to each quart jar.) Ladle hot liquid over beans, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps. Process pints and quarts 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
