Ingredients
- 4 pounds green beans or yellow beans
- 8 heads fresh dill
- 1/2 cup salt pickling
- 4 cups white vinegar 5%
- 4 cups water
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 8 garlic cloves optional
Instructions
- Sterilize the pint jars and lids so they are ready for filling. Wash the green beans, trim the ends, and cut them into 4-inch pieces.
- Add the fresh dill to the sterilized jars. Add one garlic clove to each jar if using.
- Pack the green beans upright into the jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Trim the beans as needed so they fit properly.
- Add the pickling salt, white vinegar, water, and optional red pepper flakes to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Carefully pour the hot brine over the green beans, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean, add the lids, and tighten until fingertip-tight.
- Place the jars in the canner and add more water if needed. Bring the water to a boil and process pint jars for 10 minutes below 6,000 feet in elevation or 15 minutes above 6,000 feet.
- When processing is complete, turn off the heat. Remove the jars and place them on the counter to cool, or allow them to begin cooling in the canner.
- Let the jars cool for 24 hours. Check that each jar has sealed properly, then label and store for up to 1 year.
Notes
- For the crunchiest dilly beans, use fresh, tender beans that are about 5 to 6 inches long.
- This recipe gives processing times for pint or smaller jars. Quart-jar processing times are not provided in the source recipe.
