These are great beans to use in Bloody Mary's, or on an appetizer tray, or in your brown bag. I recommend starting with the 1/4 tsp. cayenne unless you know you really like the extra heat. Prep time does not include preparing the jars for canning.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh dill. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried dill.
If you like your beans spicy, add an extra teaspoon or two of cayenne pepper. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
If you don't have time to brine the beans overnight, you can quick-brine them by boiling them for 1 minute in a pot of water with 1 tablespoon of salt. Then, drain the beans and rinse them with cold water.
Be sure to use a large pot when cooking the beans, as they will expand as they cook. If you don't serve the beans in 2 weeks, store the jars in a cool, dark place.
