Green Bean Pickles

== Ingredients ==
* 1 lb fresh green beans, cleaned and kept whole
* 1 cup vinegar (I used wine vinegar)
* 1 cup water
* 1 Tbsp mustard seeds
* 1 Tbsp fresh dill or 1 tsp dry
* 2 – 3 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tsp sugar
* cayenne pepper to taste
== Directions ==
# Put all in a big pot with a lid. Bring to a boil, turn down heat and let simmer for 10 – 15 minutes or to your desired degree of tender-crispness. I let them go until they just turn that army green color.
# Keep in tightly closed container (plastic or glass preferably) in the refrigerator. They keep about a week or so and improve in flavor. Make sure you put the beans and juice in the container or they will dry out.
