Pickled Green Beans
- 3 cups white wine vinegar
- 3 cups water
- 1/4 cup pickling salt
- 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed to fit into 1-pint canning jars
- 1 cup Sriracha
- 12 cloves garlic
- 16 peppercorns
- 4 teaspoons dill seed
- Sterilize four clean 1-pint canning jars and lids in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the vinegar, water, and salt to a boil for 5 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the boiling water with a canning jar lifter.
- Pack equal amounts of the green beans, Sriracha, garlic, peppercorns, and dill seed in the jars.
- Top each with the hot vinegar mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace in each jar.
- Wipe the rim of each jar with a clean towel.
- Place lids and bands on the jars and process in boiling water for 8 minutes.
- Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, verify that a proper seal has formed on each jar by pressing on the lid with your finger.
- The lid should be slightly sunken, and should not pop up and down when pressed.
- Any lids and jars that did not form a seal should be cleaned and can be reprocessed in boiling water.
- Let sit in a cool, dark place for 4 to 6 weeks before opening.
- Once opened, jars can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
