How to Make Pickled Green Beans: Basic Steps

Preparing pickled green beans is easy: it only takes 20 minutes to assemble the jar and 1 hour to cool. Once ready, we recommend refrigerating it for 24 hours for the best flavor and texture. Here are the basic steps (or jump straight to the recipe):

• Cut green beans: Cut the beans to fit in a wide-mouth jar. Add garlic cloves and bay leaf.
• Bring the ingredients for the brine to a boil: In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and peppercorns and bring to a boil (see recipe below for exact amounts).
• Pour it into the jar and wait for it to cool (about 1 hour).
• Refrigerate for 24 hours. Many of our pickle recipes are ready-to-go (and of course you can try them too!). But with green beans, we’ve found that it takes at least 24 hours for the flavor to soak into the beans. It also helps soften the beans (they’ll be very crunchy the same day).

Variant: add dill!

A popular take on pickled green beans? Dilly beans! This type of cucumber exhibits the flavor of dill, similar to a traditional dill pickle. You can add dill flavor here by adding ½ tbsp of dill seeds and/or 4 sprigs of fresh dill. Remember that dill seeds are small, flat, brown seeds of the dill plant used in canning recipes: not Dill! Dill is the dried leaves and stalks of the dill plant and is not strong enough to impart enough flavor.
