Preserve your fresh produce -- make these yummy refrigerator dilly beans. They're easy to make, maintain their crispness, and don't require a water bath process.
Wash and trim the ends from beans. Cook the beans in boiling water for 8-10 minutes, until crisp but tender. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to halt the cooking process.
Pack beans into glass jars, snug but not too snug (you'll fill 2-3 pint jars, depending on how tightly you pack the beans).
Divide the dill and garlic between the jars. Bring the remaining ingredients to a boil. Pour liquid over the beans, using a butter knife to release any air bubbles. Make sure beans are completely submerged.
Secure the lid; refrigerate for at least a week before serving.
