Spicy Pickled Green Beans image

These snappy, spicy, garlicky beans are tasty on a relish tray, nestled alongside a hot dog, or used as a stirrer for a Bloody Mary. A blend of crushed red pepper and cayenne creates a well-rounded heat.

Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
2 tablespoons pickling salt
6 cloves garlic, crushed
3 teaspoons dill seed
1 ½ teaspoons crushed red pepper
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed

Steps:

  • Submerge 3 pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
  • Combine vinegar, water, and pickling salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot and add 1/3 of crushed red and cayenne peppers to each. Pack green beans into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace.
  • Slowly pour hot brine over beans, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Slip in additional beans if space allows; check headspace again and add more brine if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from top.
  • Wipe jar rims, apply lids and bands (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
  • Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.
