Hi Dave,


RH>  hn> My grandmother used to pickle green beans
RH>  hn> and asparagus..and green tomatoes....and
RH>  hn> cucumbers too!!

RH> My folks grew yellow wax beans and they were canned. Then they were
RH> frozen after Mom got her first freezer. Can't say as I remember her
RH> pickling anything.

 DD> My olds used to put up regular canned beans and pickled green or wax
 DD> beans - or a mix. The pickled beans were used as a cold side dish or
 DD> part of a pickled three bean salad for use at family picnics or church
 DD> pot-lucks.

I've done the 3 bean salad but usually used canned beans. Made one about
18 months ago where I used dry black, navy and kidney beans, then green
bell pepper. The different coloring took people by surprise but it was
enjoyed.
