🥘Ingredients

For the Pickling Liquid

3 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp salt

For the Green Beans

1 lb fresh green beans
2 cloves garlic
1 small onion

For the Spices

1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp dill seeds

👨‍🍳Directions

1Begin by sterilizing your canning jars and lids.
2Place them in a large pot of boiling water for 10 minutes.
3This ensures that all bacteria are killed and the jars are ready for canning.
4Remove jars from the water and set them aside to dry.
5Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
6Peel and slice the onion.
7Peel and smash the garlic cloves.
8This preparation will make it easier to pack the jars later.
9In a large pot, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt.
10Stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
11Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
12Add the black peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, and dill seeds to the pot.
13Reduce the heat to medium and let the spices simmer for 5 minutes.
14This will allow the flavors to infuse into the pickling liquid.
15Pack the green beans, onion, and garlic into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
16Pour the hot pickling liquid over the green beans, ensuring that they are fully submerged.
17Leave 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of the jar.
18Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to remove any residue.
19Place the lids on the jars and screw on the rings until they are fingertip-tight.
20Do not overtighten.
21Place the jars in a canning rack and lower them into a large pot of boiling water.
22Ensure that the water covers the jars by at least 1 inch.
23Boil the jars for 10 minutes.
24This process, known as water bath canning, will create a vacuum seal.
25After boiling, turn off the heat and let the jars sit in the water for an additional 5 minutes.
26This will help to ensure a proper seal.
27Remove the jars from the water and place them on a towel-lined surface to cool.
28You should hear a popping sound as the lids seal.
29Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
