Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 2 flowering dill heads or 2 teaspoons dried dill seed
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 1/4 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Gather your flavoring ingredients. Add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, 1 clove of garlic, and 1 flowering dill head to two clean pint jars.
- Prep the beans. Wash and trim the stem end of the beans. Add them to the jars as you cut them so that you can make sure they aren't too tall, and so you can tell how many beans you can fit. You may not be able to fit the entire pound of beans.
- Make the brine. Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat while stirring. When the salt and sugar have dissolved, remove from the heat. Pour the brine over the beans in both of the jars.
- Wait, then enjoy. Put the tops on both jars and put the jars in the fridge for at least 24 hours for the flavors to meld. Then, enjoy your pickles within two months. Keep the jars refridgerated.
