These are great beans to use in Bloody Mary's, or on an appetizer tray, or in your brown bag. I recommend starting with the 1/4 tsp. cayenne unless you know you really like the extra heat. Prep time does not include preparing the jars for canning.

Provided by bidness44

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups green beans
1 cup vinegar
1 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 garlic cloves or 3 tablespoons of minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 medium onion, sliced thinly
2 sprigs fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
1/4-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (depending on how hot you want them)
1 whole dried chili, if you have one (optional)

Steps:

  • You don't need any canning supplies for this project. You don't even need special jars. I reused a jar from store-bought sauerkraut for mine. Use whatever you have on hand, as long as it's glass and has a lid.
  • Make your brine. This is the longest part of this process (and it only takes a few minutes!) so do this first. Add your water, vinegar, salt, sugar, and garlic (which you've minced) to a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling, turn it off and set it aside to cool down to room temperature.
  • Trim the beans. You want them all to fit in your jar with about an inch at the top so the brine covers them completely. You can trim both ends, or just the stem end. I think the pointy blossom end of beans are pretty, so I leave them. It's up to you.
  • Blanch the beans. Bring a saucepan of water to a full boil, then dump the beans in and boil them for thirty seconds. Drain them, and quickly add them to a bowl of iced water to shock them and stop the cooking process. You want your beans to be brightly colored and still crisp.
  • Drain the beans and set them aside. Add your onions, dill, red pepper flakes, and peppercorns to your jars.
  • Now add your beans to the jars. They look prettiest standing upright, but don't worry about being perfect. The easiest way is to lay the jar on its side, or hold it horizontally, and place the beans inside.
  • Go ahead and pour your brine in once it has reached room temperature. Fill the jar to 1/2 inch below the top of the jar, and put the lid on. Place the jar of dilly beans in the fridge, and let them sit for at least two days before eating them.
  • They'll keep for up to six months in the fridge, but I'll bet you foldable money that you won't have them around nearly that long!

DILLY PICKLED BEANS



Dilly Pickled Beans image

In preserving, as with most things, it's all about the right tool for the job. To the untrained eye, one Mason jar may look more or less like another, and while it's true they all get the job done, each has its strengths. There are two jars that have particular use: the Ball 12-oz. quilted jars and 24-oz. pint-and-a-half jars. Each of these is larger than their standard counterparts (half pint and pint, respectively), and each has a straight, cylindrical profile. This, then, makes them perfect for canning long, narrow things, like asparagus -- and green beans. They're an excellent project for the newbie preserver. It's as simple as packing the product into the jar, bringing a vinegar brine to a boil, and pouring same brine into the jar. They can be processed if you want them to be shelf-stable, but even if you just refrigerate them they'll keep for weeks. As if they'll last that long.

Provided by Sean Timberlake

Time 1h5m

Yield About 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or 1 serrano pepper, sliced
3 teaspoons dill seed, or several sprigs fresh dill weed
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons pickling or canning salt

Steps:

  • Wash the green beans and trim their ends so that they are uniform. If needed, cut them further so that they will fit easily inside of the jars you are using to can them.
  • Divide the beans into sterilized canning jars, along with the garlic, pepper flakes and dill seed. In a small saucepan, bring the vinegars, water and pickling salt to a boil, until the salt dissolves.
  • Pour the pickling mixture over the green beans and cap the jars.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Alternatively, allow to cool and refrigerate.
  • Properly-handled sterilized equipment will keep canned foods in good condition for years. Sterilizing jars is the first step of preserving foods.

DILLY BEANS



DILLY BEANS image

Categories     Bean

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds Green Beans
1/4 cup canning/pickling salt
2 1/2 cup white vinegar
2 1/2 cup water
1 t./quart crushed black pepper
1 t./quart cayenne pepper
2 cloves/qt. garlic
2 heads/qt. dill

Steps:

  • In an empty and clean quart jar place 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 heads of dill. Clean the beans and cut the ends off. Pack the beans into the jars. Bring the water, vinegar, and salt to a boil in a large sauce pan. Ladle the hot liquid into the quart jars and fill to leave 1/4-1/2 inch of headspace. Wipe the lip of the jar, place a new lid and a band on the jar. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 min. My mom would make these each year. Well, a version that wasn't quite as spicy. I don't remember this but apparently us kids would sneak into the room where she stored the canned goods and eat a whole jar of these. In hindsight, we probably didn't need to sneak in... we were voluntarily eating green beans after all. You can change the spices in the recipe to get whatever flavor you want as long as you use the salt and vinegar solution and process them the same. So, experiment with flavors if you'd like. I have adjusted the recipe to be just spicy enough for my liking, which is very spicy by Ohio standards but not too spicy by other standards. You can adjust the pepper to your liking. Enjoy!
