Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh green beans ends and strings removed
- 2 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons raw sugar can substitute granulated white sugar if necessary
Additional Ingredients Per Pint:
- 1 dill head or 2 teaspoons whole dill seed
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed not ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds not ground coriander
Instructions
- Trim the green beans so they are of a height to reach within 1/2-inch of the tops of the jars. Load each jar with the additional per-jar ingredients and pile the trimmed beans in over the spices. Set aside.
- Bring the apple cider vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Pour over the green beans in the jars to within 1/4-inch of the tops of the jars. Wipe the rims, fix new two-piece lids in place to finger-tip tightness, and process for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer to a rack to allow to cool completely. Remove the rings, wipe down, label, and store in a cool, dark place for up to a year. If there are any that don't seal, refrigerate immediately after processing. Let the pickled beans sit for 2 to 3 weeks before cracking open and eating!
