  • Spicy Pickled Green Beans/Jalapenos/Onions/Peppers & A Dad, Would This Work Question?

    Canned up some pickled spicey green beans tonight from me garden & added a few things (onion-japs-peppers)...... Was getting near the end of the process & me 7 year old asked me what I was doing?... So, I explained how the canning process preserved food without spoiling for exteneded periods.... So, naturally the next conversation revolved around the native americans, cowboys, soldiers, settlers, etc & the ways that they did preserve food..... So I did my best on that one & told him what I knew & that dried vegetables, spices & water combined with dried meats can make a good dinner (soup/stew) & the earlier settlers used to eat that..... He thought I was kidding him ... He's 7.5 years old & into the oudoor & hunting thing..... Heres some pics.... We gonna dry out some veggies, then some beef & see what happens..... I did not add green beans to the dehydrator, cause I picked them all & they went into the jars. ..... I did slice up a nice Roma tomatoe that is on the dehydrator & not in the pic..... see what happens

    you pickle runner beans ?

    We always have masses - never occured to me to pickle them.
    How do they turn out and what do you use them for ?

    If you're into the native american trail foods - have a go at making pemmican.

    Basicallya mix of dried fruit, jerky, fat and honey. Both the drying and honey act as preservatives. Get it right and that stuff will last for years.
    Fora modern take you'll probably want to cut back a little on the fat content. You want some because it's what holds it all together.

    Great for kids to make as it's all just mixed up with the honey and melted (bacon ?) fat and rolled into shape.

        Dilly beans Alex, at least out here in the west, are real common. I've had more than a few Bloody Marys with a dill pickled green bean or spicy pickled asparagus spear as a garnish. Never heard em called "runner" beans before, but I get it.

        Cool deal Scott, you must be one of the coolest dads ever

          Good on ya for bringing the kid into it, Scott.

          I know it is a PITA at first, answering questions, watching fingers, dodging sharp knives, reassuring mom... and the fricking mess... but what a cool way to spend an afternoon.

          Just spent one of the best days ever with my two oldest girls on the lake that turned in to a boat driving, filleting, smoking, frying lesson.

          Had an older feller tell me one time: "If you don't make it fun for them, they aren't going to want to do it." Damned if he weren't right! So all of you young dads out there, stop by Micky D's, load up the cooler with pop and snacks, answer all their questions, and be patient!!! You're actually growing up your future game packer, boat driver, house fixer... and best friends without them even knowing it~!!

          Sorry about that - family is a BIG THING for me.

          Oh yeah... and the beans and peppers look great too! I work with a lady that pickles them, they are pretty good that way.

                This is my first go at making them. My SIL's -X- used to make them & give them to me & I loved them. They were hot & spicy & great guy/bar snacks.... I did forget the Red pepper flakes though

                Next, I will do up some jerky & throw it in with some dehydrated vegetables & see what happens..... I might even research it a bit, but doubt it... lol
