Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 3 whole dill sprigs
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends off the green beans so that they fit into pint-sized canning jars.
Step 2
Blanch the green beans by boiling them in a pot of water for 1 minute, then transferring them to an ice water bath to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Sterilize two pint-sized canning jars by submerging them in boiling water, then carefully removing and drying them.
Step 4
In a saucepan, combine water, vinegar, kosher salt, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve. Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly.
Step 5
Divide the garlic cloves, dill sprigs, red pepper flakes, and mustard seeds evenly between the two jars.
Step 6
Pack the green beans tightly into the jars, standing them vertically.
Step 7
Pour the brine into the jars, ensuring that the beans are fully submerged but leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of the jars.
Step 8
Seal the jars with airtight lids and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, place the jars in the refrigerator.
Step 9
Allow the green beans to pickle for at least 24 hours before consuming. For best flavor, wait 2-3 days.
Step 10
Store the pickled green beans in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
