Ingredients

• 1 pound Green beans
• 4 sprigs Fresh dill sprigs
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2.5 cups White vinegar
• 2.5 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 2 1-pint jars Canning jars with lids

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Set aside.

Step 2

Sterilize 2 1-pint canning jars and their lids in boiling water. Let them dry completely.

Step 3

In a large saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, kosher salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve. Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly.

Step 4

While the brine cools, divide the garlic cloves, dill sprigs, black peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and mustard seeds evenly between the two jars.

Step 5

Pack the green beans tightly into the jars, standing them vertically for a neat fit.

Step 6

Carefully pour the warm brine over the green beans in each jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.

Step 7

Use a clean utensil to remove any air bubbles by sliding it down the sides of the jars. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth.

Step 8

Seal the jars tightly with their lids.

Step 9

At this point, you can either refrigerate the jars for quick pickling or process them for long-term storage. For quick pickling, place the sealed jars in the refrigerator and allow the beans to marinate for at least 24 hours before serving. For long-term storage, process the jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, then let them cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place.

Step 10

Pickled green beans are best enjoyed after at least 3 days of marinating and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months (unprocessed) or up to 1 year (processed).
