• Place the green beans in a heatproof dish or container. Slice the mini cucumbers into 8 spears each and add to the green beans. Pour the hot brine over the vegetables and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
• Allow the pickles to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container. Serve with the banana peppers.

SWEET PICKLED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. Bring a large pot of water to a boil in a large pot. Add half of the green beans, cover, return to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans to the ice water to cool. Repeat with the remaining beans.
• Drain the cooled beans and divide among 6 pint-size (2-cup) canning jars or similar-size tempered-glass or heatproof-plastic containers with lids. Add 1 to 3 chile peppers to each jar.
• Combine vinegar, 3 cups water, sugar and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Carefully fill jars (or containers) with brine to within 1/2 inch of the rim, covering the beans completely. (Discard any leftover brine.)

HOT PICKLED GREEN BEANS:

Steps:

• Wash and trim the green beans. Bring a large pot of water with the 1 teaspoon salt to a boil over medium heat. Add the beans. Cook until the beans begin to turn bright green and are just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Rinse immediately with cold water and put them in an ice bath for 10 minutes. Drain well.
• Pack beans in sterilized jars then cover with the vinegar mixture.

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.

• Pack beans lengthwise into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Ladle hot brine over beans, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles with a wooden chopstick or thin plastic spatula.
• Wipe rims clean with damp cloth. Screw on two piece lids. Process pints and quarts 10 minutes in a boiling water bath canner. When processing time is finished, remove jars from canner and place onto a towel on the counter top to cool completely.
• Remove rings, wipe up any spills. Label with date and contents and store in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight.

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.

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.
• These will last for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

SPICY CAJUN PICKLED GREEN BEANS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Fit as many green beans and carrots as you can into a jar, vertically.
• Add the garlic and bay leaf to the jar, using a chopstick or something similar to slide them down the sides of the jar.
• Add oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, celery seed, and peppercorns directly to the jar.
