Cold-Pickled Green Beans Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

1 cup tarragon vinegar

2 cups water

4 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings

2 pounds fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed

4 sprigs fresh dill

1 teaspoon celery seed, divided

1 teaspoon mustard seed, divided

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, divided

1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns, divided

4 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half lengthwise

½ teaspoon salt, or as needed

Methods :

Step 1

Stir the tarragon vinegar and water together in a bowl.

Step 2

Pack each jar with green beans so they stand on end without crowding. Into each jar, place 1 sprig of fresh dill, 1/4 teaspoon of celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon of mustard seed, 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, 8 to 10 whole black peppercorns, and 2 garlic clove halves. Sprinkle a pinch of salt into each jar.

Step 3

Fill the rest of the space in the jars with the tarragon vinegar-water mixture, place the lids on the jars, and refrigerate overnight.
