I just did my first pickled peppers and dilly beans the other day. I didn't realize how easy it was to pickle things, but I'm not sure how much I really like pickled things. I have to say I like the sweet pickled stuff more than the dill pickled stuff, but nonetheless I really enjoyed not having to give away the peppers and beans we picked at the farm before we left on our California trip. Basically this is what you do...
Stuff beans or peppers in a sanitized jar
put in a couple cloves of garlic and some dill
pour in hot a vinegar solution of 2.5 cups vinegar and 2.5 cups water with 1/4 cup salt. Add 1 cup sugar if desired.
close jar and either process in boiling water or stick in the fridge
That's it. You should try it!

When did you go to California?? You adventurer, you!
Yum. My mom always makes dilly beans and I just devour them. It's one thing that really takes me back to my childhood.
