Yield Makes 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

Coarse salt
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 pound yellow wax beans, trimmed
3 cups distilled white vinegar
3 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil; add salt. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Cook beans until just tender, about 3 minutes. Immediately transfer with tongs to the ice-water bath. Drain well, and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Bring 3 cups water, the vinegar, 3 tablespoons salt, the garlic, and the cayenne to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer 4 minutes. Pour brine over beans. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Transfer to airtight containers; refrigerate at least 1 week (pickles will keep 3 weeks more).

These beans are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beans turned out too spicy. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.
