I bought wax beans (yellow beans) yesterday at the farmer's market and wanted to test them in something different. With a few Google clicks I discovered this recipe on the Foodandwine website. A small batch of the pickled wax beans was prepared because I only had about 1 1/2 cups. A rectangular Pyrex glass container was used in...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lb yellow wax beans or green beans (or in combination
8 clove fresh garlic, peeled and sliced in half lengthwise
8 sprig(s) fresh dill
4 tsp whole black peppercorns (replaced 1/2 teaspoon with szechuan whole peppercorns)
4 tsp prepared horseradish (added about another teaspoon)
1 1/2 -2 c distilled white vinegar (didn't have enough distilled white and subbed with a little bit of white wine vinegar)
1/4 kosher salt
3 Tbsp sugar
2 1/2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Trim the stem ends so the beans fit into pint-size canning jars. Pack the beans into four 1-pint jars, tips down. Tuck in the garlic and the dill sprigs. Add 1 teaspoon each of the peppercorns and horseradish to each jar.
  • 2. Original recipe: In a large jar, combine the vinegar with the salt and sugar. Close the jar and shake until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the water and shake again. Pour the brine over the beans; if the beans are not completely submerged, top off the jars with water. Alternatively and what I did was placed the beans in one shallow rectangular glass container, whisked the other ingredients together and poured over the beans. Then the beans were topped off with about another 1/4 cup of white wine vinegar. Close the jars and refrigerate the beans for at least 24 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender wax beans for pickling. Avoid beans that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Wash the wax beans thoroughly before pickling them.
  • To make the pickling liquid, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and spices in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
  • Pour the hot pickling liquid over the wax beans in a jar or container. Make sure the beans are completely covered by the liquid.
  • Seal the jar or container tightly and let the wax beans pickle for at least 2 weeks before eating.
  • Store the pickled wax beans in a cool, dark place.

Conclusion:

Spicy pickled wax beans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. So next time you're looking for a tasty and tangy snack, give spicy pickled wax beans a try!
