Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lb fresh green beans
2 1/2 c white vinegar
2 c water
4 Tbsp kosher or pickling salt
6 dried arbol chilis*
2 tsp peppercorns, tricolored

  • 3. In each hot, sterile jar, place 1 chili, sprig of dill if using and 1/8 teaspoon more or less of peppercorns. Tightly pack green beans into the jars so they are standing on their ends. Sprinkle with pickle crisp or place a grape leave in the jar. Place a lemon slice on top of each jar.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

BRINE INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 c distilled white vinegar
2 c water
1/4 c pickling salt
1 whole head of fresh garlic, peeled
JAR INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 lb fresh straight green beans
1 sprig of fresh dill or 1 tsp dill seed
1 cayenne pepper or 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • 1. Sterilize 6 pint jars and lids on baking sheet in oven at 250* F for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 225* F until all jars are used.
  • 2. Start a canning pot with water and bring to a boil.
  • 3. Take 1 green bean and measure it inside of the jar - cut it 1/4 inch from the top of the jar. Using that bean as a guide, line up a bunch of green beans with that one and cut them all the same length. Repeat with all of the green beans. Save cut ends as snaps for cooking in beans & peas, or freeze to use in vegetable stock or soups & stews.
  • 4. In a large saucepan, stir together the vinegar, water, garlic cloves, and salt; bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  • 5. In each jar, place 1 sprig of dill or 1 tsp. dill seed and 1 cayenne pepper that has been stabbed with a knife, or 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Pack green beans into the jars so they are standing on their cut ends.
  • 6. Remove brine from the heat, discard garlic and ladle the brine into the jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Seal jars with lids and rings.
  • 7. Place jars in a hot water bath so they are covered by 1 inch of water. Simmer but DO NOT BOIL for 10 minutes to process. Cool to room temperature.
  • 8. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal properly. Let green beans cure for 2 to 3 weeks before eating. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Select fresh, tender green beans that are free from blemishes. Avoid beans that are too thick or woody, as they will not pickle well.
  • Prepare the beans properly: Wash the beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut the beans into 1-inch pieces or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
  • Use a flavorful pickling liquid: The pickling liquid is what gives the beans their flavor, so make sure to use a combination of vinegar, water, sugar, and spices that you enjoy. You can also add other ingredients like garlic, onion, or dill to the pickling liquid for extra flavor.
  • Pack the beans tightly: When packing the beans into the jars, pack them tightly so that there is no air space. This will help to prevent the beans from floating to the top of the jar and becoming exposed to air, which can cause them to spoil.
  • Process the jars properly: Follow the instructions in the recipe carefully for processing the jars. This will ensure that the beans are properly sealed and safe to store.

Conclusion:

Spicy pickled green beans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these pickled beans all year long. Serve them as an appetizer, salad topping, or even as a crunchy addition to your favorite sandwich or wrap.
