Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 quarts water
2 pounds fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons mustard seed
2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dill seed
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups distilled white vinegar
⅔ cup white sugar
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Bring 2 quarts of water to boil. Add green beans and boil for 5 minutes or until beans are just tender. Plunge the beans in cold water to set their color, drain well.
  • In a large bowl combine salt, mustard seed, dill weed, chiles, dill seed and garlic. Mix. Add cooled beans to the bowl and stir.
  • In a small saucepan bring 2 cups water, vinegar, sugar and salt (to taste) to boil. Pour this mixture over the beans and spices. Mix well.
  • Chill the beans in an airtight container at least overnight before eating. The beans are best if given a week to marinate refrigerated before eating.
