Garlicky Pickled Green Beans
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups distilled white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 2 1/2 pounds fresh green beans
  • 6 large sprigs dill
  • 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary items and materials required for the recipe.
2
Carefully examine six 1/2-pint jars for any signs of damage, such as cracks or rust on the rings. Discard any jars that are not in good condition.
3
Submerge the remaining jars in simmering water to ensure they are properly sterilized. Meanwhile, wash any new or unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
4
While the jars are being sterilized, combine vinegar, water, and salt in a large saucepan. Add minced garlic and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat.
5
Cut green beans into 1/4-inch shorter lengths than the jars they will be used in.
6
Once the jars have been sterilized, remove them from the simmering water. Add a sprig of fresh dill and 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes to each jar. Pack the green beans tightly, with them standing upright on their ends.
7
Pour boiling brine (without garlic) into the jars, filling each one to within 1/4-inch of its top. Secure the lids and rings tightly onto the jars.
8
Position a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot, filling it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil and carefully lower the jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder.
9
Add more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (avoiding boiling), cover it, and process for 10 minutes.
10
Remove the jars from the stockpot and let them cool to room temperature, allowing this process to take 8 to 12 hours. Test the jars for a good seal by pressing on the center of the lid – it should not move.
11
Allow the green beans to ferment for 2 to 3 weeks in a cool, dark space before consuming.
