I love pickles and was looking forward to putting some up this year. Well my cucumbers had other ideas. Something is killing off my plants when the cukes are small. So I am going pickle some green beans. I had some last year and I really liked them. Though I have NOT tried this recipe before so I cannot say whether it is good or not. I will try a small batch first to try it out and in a couple weeks do more if they turn out good.
I borrowed this recipe from Hickory Holler Farm . She had posted it for dilled okra but I am altering it a bit for my beans.
Pickled green beans
4 cups water
2 cups vinegar
1/2 cup pickling salt
5 1/2 pounds okra with stems
1 1/2 tsp celery seeds
6 cloves garlic
6 jalapeno peppers (optional)
Prepare beans, trim them 1/4 in from top of jars. Heat water, vinegar and salt to boiling. Meanwhile pack beans into cleean hot quart jars. To each jar add 1/2 tsp dill seed or 2 head of dill if you have fresh dill. 1/2 tsp celery seeds and 2 clove garlic sliced. Add 1 hot pepper if desired. Cover beans with boiling hot brine and leave a 1/2 inch headspace. Seal and process in boiling water bath canner for ten minutes. Let sit for about 2 weeks and enjoy.
