Course Side Dish

Equipment

• Canning jars with lids and bands
• Water bath canner

Ingredients

  

• 2 lb green beans (ends trimmed)
• 2.5 cups vinegar (5% acidity)
• 1 cup water
• 3 Tbsp canning salt
• 3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 6 sprigs fresh dill
• 3-6 cloves garlic (peeled)

Instructions

 

• Wash beans and trim the stem ends.  Trim both ends if you like uniformity, but the tail end is the tender end so you can leave it intact.  I start by measuring one bean to 1 inch below jar height, and then cut them all to the same length so they pack well into the jar.
• Pack the green beans into wide mouth pint jars and top each jar with 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, 2 dill sprigs and 1-2 garlic cloves.  Be sure to leave just over 1/2 inch headspace.
• Combine vinegar, water and canning salt and bring to a boil on the stove to make a hot brine.  Pour the hot brine over the beans in jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
• Seal the jars with new canning lids, tighten on bands, and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes adjusting for altitude.
• Remove the jars from the canner and allow to stand at room temperature for a few hours until they've "popped" and completely sealed.  Store any unsealed jars in the fridge and use immediately.
• For sealed jars, remove the canning bands and store in the pantry at room temperature.
