Crisp Pickled Green Beans Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Crisp Pickled Green Beans Recipe). This recipe is from my Grandmother's cookbook she made to pass to all her grandchildren. They come out very, very crisp with a wonderful dill flavor. The red pepper flakes give them a nice punch. They are much better than the recipes that call for cooking the beans first.

Crisp Pickled Green Beans Recipe

Ingredients

2 ½ pounds fresh green beans

2 ½ cups distilled white vinegar

2 cups water

¼ cup salt

1 clove garlic

peeled

1 bunch fresh dill weed

¾ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Sterilize 6 (1/2 pint) jars with rings and lids and keep hot. Trim green beans to 1/4 inch shorter than your jars.

Step 2

In a large saucepan stir together the vinegar water and salt. Add garlic and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. In each jar place 1 sprig of dill and 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Pack green beans into the jars so they are standing on their ends.

Step 3

Ladle the boiling brine into the jars filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Discard garlic. 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.
