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.

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.

These beans are also great for making pickled bean salad. Just add some chopped onion, celery, and mayonnaise to the beans and you're good to go!

I like to add a little bit of heat to my dilly pickled beans by adding a few red pepper flakes to the vinegar solution.

These beans are a great way to use up leftover beans from a pot of chili or soup.

I'm not a big fan of dill, so I used a different herb in this recipe. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my beans turned out mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These beans are a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll use less vinegar next time.
