Ingredients 

  • 1 pound Green Beans
  • cup White Vinegar Distilled
  • 1 cup Warm Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Salt
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • Fresh Dill
  • Crushed Red Pepper Optional

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Large Pot
  • Mason Jars

Instructions

  • Sterilize jars with rings and lids using boiling water.
  • Trim grim beans.
  • In your saucepan, stir together the vinegar, water and salt. Add garlic and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, pack green beans, a sprig of dill, and pinch of red pepper flakes into jars.
  • Ladle or pour the boiling brine into the jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops.
  • Seal jars with lids and rings. Place 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.
  • Test jars for a good seal by pressing on the center of the lid. It should not move. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal properly. Let pickles ferment for 2 to 3 weeks before eating.
