I've made a couple dishes with them and found that blending them into soup and adding a bit of sugar hid the worst of their texture and brought out the best of their flavor. That post is queued up for tomorrow.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-19892632761000727282009-11-24T22:37:53.276-05:002009-11-24T22:37:53.276-05:00Have you tried your corn yet?

It was marginally better cut off the cob and sauteed in butter and salt than hopefully boiled - a bad idea altogether. Hope you have better luck with yours!Linda Kellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-50893099482361874272009-11-24T16:29:53.273-05:002009-11-24T16:29:53.273-05:00Thanks a lot!

I found a lot of dilly bean recipes and I've been torn whether to use white or cider vinegar, dried or fresh pepper, etc. But if these are killer, I'll take your recommendation. If they're lousy, it's on you.billjachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260406336065905545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-39925704016692108952009-11-24T15:42:07.402-05:002009-11-24T15:42:07.402-05:00Just stumbled upon your blog. A woman I worked a ...Just stumbled upon your blog. A woman I worked a trade show booth with made these KILLER "dilly beans" and passed the recipe along to me. I havent had a chance to make them but thought Id pass it along since you said you might not use all the beans.<br /><br />Here is what she sent me...<br /><br />"Trim ends of beans. Combine 2 1/2 cups of vinegar I use apple cider. 2 1/2 cups of water and 1/4 cup of canning salt Bring to a boil. Pack beans lengthwise into hot pint jars. To each jar add 1 tsp to 1tbs cayenne pepper or more to taste. 1 clove of garlic, 1head of dill, 1/2 to 1 tsp of mustard seed.Pour hot liquid over beans leaving 1/4 inch head space. Process in hot water bath 10 min. I usually do a half bushel and that gives you about 16 pints.I can not remember how many brine's I need for a half bushel but I think 4."SteveBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203167407546384904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493144429387237025.post-31865207563534222592009-11-24T13:57:09.883-05:002009-11-24T13:57:09.883-05:00My half share was missing as well!
