PICKLED SKINNY BEANS

Steps:

• Wash and trim fresh beans.
• Pack beans into clean, wide-mouth pint jars. This is easier to do if you tip the jar onto its side.

• In a large pot, bring water, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve.
• Pour liquid over beans in jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.

PICKLED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Wash the green beans. Snap or cut off the stem ends and tips. Trim all of the beans so that they will fit into pint jars with at least 1/2-inch head room between the top of the vegetables and the rims of the jars.
• Divide the dill, garlic, bay leaves, mustard seeds, cumin seeds and pepper flakes (if using) between two glass pint jars. It is not necessary to sterilize the jars for this recipe, but they should be scrupulously clean.
• Place one of the jars on its side and start laying in the green beans. It's easier to get them to stay lined up straight if you slide them in sideways rather than loading an upright jar from above. Pack the green beans in so tightly that it is impossible to squeeze in even one more bean. If they are loosely packed they will float up out of the brine, and you want them to stay fully immersed in the brine during the pickling process.
• Bring the water, vinegar, honey, and salt to boil in a small pot, stirring to dissolve the honey and salt. Skim off any foam and discard.
• Pour the hot brine over the green beans and seasonings.
• Tightly cover and store in the refrigerator.

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.
• Properly-handled sterilized equipment will keep canned foods in good condition for years. Sterilizing jars is the first step of preserving foods.

PICKLED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Prepare your jars by washing them in warm, soapy water or run them through the dishwasher. Submerge them in hot simmering water until ready to use. Always use new snap lids and wash them also in warm, soapy water. Leave them in a bowl of hot water until ready to use. In a large saucepan add in the vinegars, water and salt and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve the salt. In each jar add in the dill heads, garlic, peppercorns, mustard seed, celery seed and red pepper flakes. Pack in green beans as tightly as possible. Pour in hot brine and leave 1/2" head space. Remove any bubbles carefully with a knife. Wipe top and place lid and screw the band on fingertip tight only. Process in a water bath for 10 min. or as per altitude.

Steps:

• Trim the stems from the green beans. In a large bowl, mix the coarse crystal sea salt with 300ml boiling water and let it dissolve to make a brining solution. Add 1.2 litres cold water, then the beans. Cover and leave to soak overnight, then rinse and drain.
• To make the pickling vinegar, put the whole spices in a medium saucepan. Toast over a low heat until they begin to smell aromatic. Add the dried chilli flakes last, as these can easily catch. Add the bay, pour in all of the vinegar, the sugar and the red onion, let the sugar dissolve, and bring to a simmer.
• Pack the beans into sterilised jars (see tip below), then pour over the hot vinegar and seal. Ready to eat in 2 weeks, or longer, if you like.

• Fill the jars with beans and pour the brine mix over them leaving 1/2 inch of headroom. Release any air bubbles and wipe the jar rims clean, place the lids on finger tight. Then process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes.
• When the beans have finished processing remove the jars from your canner and set on a towel. Leave them for 24 hours to let the seal harden. Refrigerate or reprocess any jars that haven't sealed.
