Ingredients
Scale
12 ounces fresh green beans, washed and trimmed to fit the jar
1 cup water
1 cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
¾ teaspoon mustard seeds
½ teaspoon black peppercorns
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 fresh dill sprigs
Instructions
- Trim the green beans so they fit just below the rim of the jar. Stand the beans upright in the jar and pack them in tightly so they stay in place once the brine is added.
- Add the garlic, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and fresh dill to the jar. Tuck the seasonings down around the beans.
- Add the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a medium saucepan. Bring the brine to a gentle boil over medium heat and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Let it rest for five minutes to cool down slightly.
- Add the brine to the jar until the beans are fully covered. Leave a little space at the top.
- Cool the jar at room temperature until it is no longer hot. Seal it and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. For the best flavor, wait 2 to 3 days before opening.
