| I made pickles with Mrs Wages Kosher Dill mix and had a lot left over. I used the remainder for a couple of pints of green beans. After looking at the Dilly Bean recipe in my Ball book, it looks like they require a stronger vinegar solution. Will the additional acid in the mix make up the difference, or do I just need to refrigerate the beans and use them fast? |

| While Mrs. Wages does contain citric acid there is no way to know if it is enough to cover the beans. It would be a guess. So for best safety you need to refrigerate and use from there. They will keep in the fridge for several weeks. Dave |

| Thanks Dave, I was afraid that was the answer. |

| If it helps the refrigerator pickles we made last fall are still good. We made up several jars following a recipe that was rather sweet. We have about 1/4 of the last jar left. I was rather surprised how good they still were when I found one more jar of them a few weeks ago tucked back behind the molasses. |
