The Willamette Valley in Oregon grows the best green beans in the world. Blue Lake, Kentucky Wonder, Savannah, Sahara and Filet varieties thrive here and produce long slim beans. Only the prettiest beans make it into Pretty Pickle jars so they look good on your table or as a garnish or side to a salad, in your favorite Bloody Mary drink or on the vegetable tray at your next holiday party. Great idea for a hostess gift or for that friend or relative who has everything else. Beans are hand packed into tall slim jars, covered with a simple brine with dill and garlic, and processed in a hot water bath to seal. The jars cool off quickly so that they retain their crispness and fresh taste. No additives or preservatives are needed. Pretty Pickle are not held in a brine or imported. I know the farmers and where they grow and whose hands harvested and helped them to become pretty pickles.
Each jar of pickled vegetables or brined lemons is made using the best, fresh produce available and closest to the Northwest. Each jar is made with the same recipes and ingredients that I have used for years. No preservatives, additives, colors, dyes or imported ingredients are used in any of my pickles. There is really no need to add anything more. Pure and simple food. Not an ugly pickle in the bunch!
