Sweet Dilly Beans And Carrots

I never make this recipe without thinking of picking green beans on my uncle's farm. I think i ate more raw green beans than i put in the basket. this is my favorite pickled bean recipe. my daughter always called them squeaky beans." when you bite them they squeak! No kidding!!!!!!"

Steps

If necessary , trim ends of beans so they will just fit into pint jars when inserted lengthwise.
Pare carrots and cut into sticks that are about the size of the beans.
Into a large saucepan , turn the beans and the carrots.
Add enough boiling water so it comes up about 2 inches.
Bring to a boil.
Boil just until vegetables are tender--about 15 minutes.
Drain.
Into a medium saucepan , put the sugar , vinegar , 2 cups water , and the dill.
Bring to a boil , stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Simmer for 5 minutes.
Pack the beans and carrots lengthwise in 4 pint jars.
Cover with the hot sugar-vinegar mixture , leaving 1 / 2-inch head space.
Place jars on a rack in a large pan , add hot water to cover jars by at least 1 inch.
Bring water to a boil , then keep at a gentle , steady boil 20 minutes.
Remove to cool.
