Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crisp Pickled Green Beans Snack.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients for your pickled green beans.
Step 2
Carefully inspect six 1/2-pint jars for any cracks and check the rings for rust, discarding any that are defective.
Step 3
To ensure cleanliness, immerse the jars in simmering water for sterilization, and wash new lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
Step 4
While the jars are being sterilized, combine vinegar, water, and salt in a large saucepan.
Step 5
Add the peeled garlic and bring this mixture to a vigorous boil over high heat.
Step 6
Trim the green beans so they are 1/4-inch shorter than the height of your jars for a perfect fit.
Step 7
Once the jars are ready, carefully remove them from the simmering water.
Step 8
In each jar, place a sprig of dill and, if desired, 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
Step 9
Pack the green beans upright into the jars, ensuring they are snug.
Step 10
Next, ladle the boiling brine (without the garlic) into the jars, filling them to within 1/4-inch of the tops.
Step 11
Secure the jars with the lids and rings.
Step 12
Prepare a large stockpot by placing a rack at the bottom and filling it halfway with water.
Step 13
Bring the water to a boil, then gently lower the jars into the pot, ensuring they are spaced at least 2 inches apart.
Step 14
Add more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch.
Step 15
Bring the water to a gentle simmer (avoid boiling), cover the pot, and process the jars for 10 minutes.
Step 16
After processing, carefully lift the jars from the stockpot and let them cool to room temperature for 8 to 12 hours.
Step 17
To check the seals, press down on the center of each lid; it should remain firm if sealed correctly.
Step 18
For the ultimate flavor experience, allow your pickled green beans to ferment in a cool, dark space for 2 to 3 weeks before indulging in their delightful crunch.
Step 19
Enjoy the fruits of your labor and savor the taste of summer all year round!.
