By á-47

Makes 3 pints

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups apple cider vinegar
• 1 3/4 cups water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tea. salt
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 3/4 tea. red pepper flakes
• 1 tea. mustard seed
• 6 stems fresh dill fronds (or 3 tea. dill seed)
• 1 lb. 8 oz. green beans, trimmed

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sugar is dissolved, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Divide the garlic, red pepper flakes, mustard seed, dill and green beans evenly among 3 prepared pint jars leaving 1/4" head space. Pour the brine over the ingredients, making sure it reaches the bottom of the jars and the beans are fully submerged. Wipe the rims, seal the jars and process 10 minutes.
