Dilly Green Beans
Dilly green beans are a delicious and tangy pickled vegetable snack or side dish.
Ingredients
2 pounds green beans, trimmed to fit jars
Several dill fronds, dill flowers, or seed-heads
2 tablespoons pickling spice
2 teaspoons dill seeds
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups water
4 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Fit beans and a few dill fronds, flowers, or seed heads into wide mouth jars. Keep the beans as straight as possible to fit as many beans as you can in the jar.
- Divide the pickling spice and dill seeds among the jars.
- Heat the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a small sauce pan, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar.
- When it comes to a boil pour the hot brine over the beans, to fill the jars. The brine needs to fully cover the beans. If necessary you can top off with more water.
- Let cool, then put the lids on and refrigerate for 24 hours before eating.
Notes
A small, dried red pepper may be added to each jar, if desired.
Dilly Green Beans will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or more.
