Instructions:

  1. Sterilize the Jar: Begin by sterilizing your canning jar(s) and lids, including rubber rings if you’re using old-style jars. This step ensures the cleanliness and safety of your pickled beans.

  2. Prepare the Beans: Trim the ends off the green beans, ensuring they are of similar lengths for even pickling.

  3. Blanch the Beans: In a pot of boiling water, cook the green beans just until tender, which should take around 4-8 minutes.

  4. Chill the Beans: Drain the cooked beans and immediately pour cold water over them to halt the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color. Drain thoroughly before proceeding.

  5. Arrange in Jar: Once the beans are well-drained, arrange them neatly in the sterilized jar(s), ensuring there are no air pockets.

  6. Add Flavorings: To each jar, add the pickling salt, vinegar, sugar, dill, and garlic. These ingredients will infuse the beans with their delightful flavors as they pickle.

  7. Fill with Cold Water: Pour cold water into the jar(s) until the beans are fully submerged. This liquid will serve as the pickling brine.

  8. Seal the Jars: Securely seal the jar(s) with the lids, ensuring they are tightly closed. If using old-style jars, screw on the lids along with the rubber rings for a snug fit.

  9. Store Properly: Place the sealed jars in a pan or container to catch any potential overflow of brine during the pickling process.

  10. Allow to Pickle: Store the jars in a cool, dark place for 7-10 days to allow the flavors to develop and the beans to pickle to perfection.

  11. Check for Readiness: After the pickling period, check the beans for readiness. They should be crisp, flavorful, and tangy. If you notice any mold development or if the beans turn mushy, discard them immediately for safety.

  12. Enjoy: Once ready, your Mom’s Dill Beans (Pickled) are ready to be enjoyed as a tasty snack, a refreshing side dish, or a flavorful addition to salads and sandwiches. Share with loved ones and savor the homemade goodness!

By following these simple steps, you can create a batch of Mom’s Dill Beans (Pickled) that are sure to impress with their fresh flavors and crunchy texture.
