    You can buy small packages of fresh dill in the produce isle of your grocery store. It's just a pinch of the fresh dill. Google Dilly Beans there might be another recipe you would like better. Good Luck.

    *Updated w/Questions* I got a pressure canner today!!

    Yes that is normal. As the pressure canner is doing its thing the tomatoes are cooking down inside the jars. The tomatoe smell is normal as steam escapes the jars.

    Favorite Natural way to keep bugs at bay

    Has any one ever used Eucalyptus Citriodora. It smells like citronella. My sister gave me some, you have to mix some in a carrier oil like Olive or Almond.
