Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

BRINE INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 c distilled white vinegar
2 c water
1/4 c pickling salt
1 whole head of fresh garlic, peeled
JAR INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 lb fresh straight green beans
1 sprig of fresh dill or 1 tsp dill seed
1 cayenne pepper or 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • 2. Start a canning pot with water and bring to a boil.
  • 3. Take 1 green bean and measure it inside of the jar - cut it 1/4 inch from the top of the jar. Using that bean as a guide, line up a bunch of green beans with that one and cut them all the same length. Repeat with all of the green beans. Save cut ends as snaps for cooking in beans & peas, or freeze to use in vegetable stock or soups & stews.
  • 4. In a large saucepan, stir together the vinegar, water, garlic cloves, and salt; bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  • 5. In each jar, place 1 sprig of dill or 1 tsp. dill seed and 1 cayenne pepper that has been stabbed with a knife, or 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Pack green beans into the jars so they are standing on their cut ends.
  • 6. Remove brine from the heat, discard garlic and ladle the brine into the jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Seal jars with lids and rings.
  • 7. Place jars in a hot water bath so they are covered by 1 inch of water. Simmer but DO NOT BOIL for 10 minutes to process. Cool to room temperature.
  • 8. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal properly. Let green beans cure for 2 to 3 weeks before eating. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young green beans for the best flavor and texture.
  • Trim the beans by removing the ends.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the beans into 1-inch pieces.
