3 lb Green beans
12    3-inc sprigs fresh summer
Savory
1 qt White wine vinegar
1 qt Water
1/4 c  Pickling salt
1 tb Sugar

Wash and dry the beans. Remove ends and trim to fit vertically in jars,
leaving 1/2 inch headspace.

Prepare the jars, lids and boiling water bath. Fill each dry clean jar with
beans and two sprigs of savory.

In a non-reactive pan, combine the vinegar, water, salt and sugar. Bring to
boil over med-high heat, stirring occasionally. Pour the hot liquid into
the jars, just covering the beans. Wipe the rims with a clean towel and
attach lids securely.

Place jars in boiling water bath, and when water returns to boil, process
for 15 mins.
