Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Green Beans (trimmed)
  • 2 cups White Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Pickling Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Mustard Seeds
  • ½ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon Whole Black Peppercorns
  • 2 cloves Garlic (smashed)
  • 1 Bay leaf

Instructions

  • Pack one pound of fresh green beans very tightly into a clean quart jar.
  • Add all other ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let simmer for 5 minutes, or until sugar and salt have fully dissolved. 
  • Pour pickling liquid over the beans, place lid on top of jar and seal, then place the jars in the refrigerator for two days to allow the flavors to saturate the beans.

Notes

If you do not have pickling salt, you can use Kosher salt or pure sea salt instead.
