Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1 cup white vinegar

1 cup water

3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

1 tablespoon dill seeds

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Fresh dill sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Blanch the Beans: Fill a large pot with water, add a generous amount of salt, and bring it to a rolling boil. Carefully add the trimmed green beans and blanch them for 2 minutes. Once done, promptly transfer the beans to a bowl filled with ice water to halt the cooking process. After a few minutes, drain the beans and set them aside.

    Prepare the Pickling Brine: In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, crushed garlic, dill seeds, red pepper flakes (if using), sugar, kosher salt, and whole black peppercorns. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar and salt completely dissolve. Once boiling, remove from heat.

      Pack the Jars: Using a clean, sterilized jar or container, vertically pack the blanched green beans. Arrange them snugly, leaving a little space at the top to allow for expansion during the pickling process.

        Add the Brine: Carefully pour the hot pickling brine over the packed green beans until they are fully submerged. Gently tap the jar on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles that may be lodged among the beans.

          Cool and Store: Allow the jar to cool at room temperature before sealing it with a lid. Refrigerate the jar, and for optimal flavor, let the beans marinate for at least 24 hours before tasting. If desired, garnish with fresh dill sprigs before serving.

            Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 24 hours and 10 minutes | Servings: 4-5 jars

              - Presentation Tips: Serve the pickled beans in a rustic wooden bowl or individual small dishes, garnished with fresh dill for an extra pop of color and flavor. These make a great snack or a delightful addition to a charcuterie board!
