| My grandmother used to can the most wonderful green beans. They were sweet and sour, but not pickled. Much weaker vinegar flavor than pickles. I was wondering if there is any reason that I cannot add vinegar and sugar to green beans process according to the PC instructions for green beans? It seems to me that should be okay, but wanted to check first. |

| No reason whatsoever. Adding vinegar to green beans was a common old-fashioned practice. As long as you follow current processing guidelines you can add however much vinegar and sugar you wish. Carol |

| You could use a three bean salad recipe, which has both sugar and vinegar in it and the beans come out great. And you can BWB it. |

| Thanks Carol and Chris. I think the 3 bean salad recipe is much too vinegary for what I'm trying to replicate. I'll experiement with the amount of sugar and vinegar and then PC. |

| For me, the correct sweet/sour taste comes from equal amounts of sugar versus vinegar, if that helps. |
