QUICK REFRIGERATOR PICKLED BEANS

Steps:

• Make the brine first, as it needs to cool. Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and garlic in a small saucepan and heat to boiling. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Prepare the beans. Wash the beans and remove the stems but leave the tip on. Use the straightest ones, then fill the jar so you know exactly how many to use.
• Remove them from the jar and trim the bunch all at once with a sharp knife so that they will fit in the jar with about 1/2 inch of headroom.
• Blanch and shock the beans to preserve their colour and crispness. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the beans and boil for 30 seconds. Remove the beans and immediately plunge into an ice bath (a large bowl filled with ice and water) to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
• Sterilize the jar and lid by washing in hot soapy water, rinsing thoroughly and pouring boiling water over all. Let it stand for a few minutes.
• Fill the jar with the beans. Add the peppercorns, onion slice, red pepper flakes, and fresh dill. Carefully pour the cooled brine over top so that the beans are completely covered. Put the lid on tightly. Store in the refrigerator. Allow the flavours to develop for at least 2 days.

PICKLED GREEN BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

TANGY PICKLED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In each canning jar put the dill, garlic and red pepper flakes.
• Heat to a boil the water, vinegar and salt. Then set aside.
• Wash beans then cook for 15 minutes.
• Drain the beans then cut the ends off each bean. Cut each bean into pieces as desired that will fit into the canning jars.
• Note: The beans will be very soft at this stage but will later change to a perfect texture with a slight crisp.
• Fill each jar with the bean pieces.
• Fill each jar with the the liquid mixture.
• Seal each jar and boil entire sealed jar for 15 minutes.
• ADDITIONAL TIPS:.
• We let these sit in storage for 6 weeks before eating them. I'm not sure that is necessary to let them sit that long.
• When purchasing the green beans make sure they are fresh not frozen. I always purchase a little more than I need in case I run short at the very end.
• I usually end up making more of the liquid mixture as needed until all jars are full.
• The dill, garlic and pepper amounts listed are to fill PINT size pickling jars.
• Cooking the beans for 15 minutes does soften them initially but the canning process firms them up and they end up being perfect with just the right consistancy. Just trust me on this. I thought the first batch I made would end up being trash and have been surprised every since.
• I've been making these beans for years now. I've had cans sit on the shelf for over a year we've recently enjoyed and finished off. That part must be the boiling and sealing process that allows them to remain good for months like that.
• Recently I've started double and trippling the garlic pieces inside. The garlic ends up pickling too and is super good to eat right out of the jar.

SPICY GARLIC & DILL PICKLED BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare your canner and jars.
• Wash and trim vine ends off beans. Remove strings from string bean varieties. Cut beans into jar-length pieces, being sure to leave enough room for a ½ inch of headspace between the top of the beans and the top of the jar.
• In a saucepan, bring salt, water and vinegar to a boil over medium high heat. Heat, stirring until salt has completely dissolved.
• Remove jars from the canner and place one clove of garlic, ¼ teaspoon of dried chilli flakes OR one whole chilli pepper and one head of dill in each hot jar.
• Pack each jar full of beans until you can't pack any more in. Then, cover with hot vinegar brine, leaving a ½ inch of headspace at the top.
• Jostle jars gently to allow any trapped air bubbles to escape. Wipe rims, place lids on top and screw bands down to fingertip tight.
• Process jars in a boiling hot water bath for 10 minutes. Then remove canner lid and wait another five minutes before removing jars. Allow to cool completely before storing in a cool dark place.

DILLY PICKLED BEANS

Steps:

• Wash the green beans and trim their ends so that they are uniform. If needed, cut them further so that they will fit easily inside of the jars you are using to can them.
• Divide the beans into sterilized canning jars, along with the garlic, pepper flakes and dill seed. In a small saucepan, bring the vinegars, water and pickling salt to a boil, until the salt dissolves.
• Pour the pickling mixture over the green beans and cap the jars.
• Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Alternatively, allow to cool and refrigerate.
