From cooking green beans as a delicious side to adding them to a cool and hearty salad, green beans are an incredibly versatile veggie. But, if you\u2019ve loaded up on green beans at the farmers market or just harvested your backyard green bean crop, it can be a bit overwhelming to use them all up before going bad. To extend the life of your produce, try pickled green beans.<\/p>\n
Pickled green beans can last up to a year, meaning you can indulge in a crisp, briny snack long after green bean season is over. Keep reading to get our step-by-step instructions for pickling green beans, plus some guidance from our Test Kitchen experts<\/a>.<\/p>\n After washing and trimming your green beans, split them evenly between four 1-pint jars, leaving about 1\/2 inch of headspace. Then, divide the cayenne, garlic and dill seeds or heads evenly and add them to the jars as well. If heat isn’t your thing, feel free to skip the cayenne.<\/p>\n Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> Before you begin, make sure your jars clean and sterilize. If you\u2019re reusing jars, here\u2019s how to sterilize them: wash the jars, lids and bands in hot, soapy water. Dry off the bands with a clean kitchen towel and place the jars in a pot of boiling water where they\u2019re completely submerged. In a separate pot, boil the lids in 180\u00b0F water. Allow the jars and lids to boil for at least 10 minutes. Keep the lids and jars in their respective pots until they\u2019re ready to be used.<\/p>\n In a large saucepan, combine the water, white vinegar and canning salt over medium heat. Give the mixture a good stir, then let it come to a boil.<\/p>\n Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> This recipe uses standard white vinegar, but that\u2019s not the only choice. Using apple cider vinegar will leave some sweetness in your green beans while 10% white vinegar will make your green beans extra crisp.<\/p>\n Once the brine is ready, carefully ladle it into the jars, being sure to leave 1\/2 inch of headspace. Give the jars a few taps and shakes to release any air bubbles and add more brine, if needed.<\/p>\n When the jars are prepared, add them to a canner with simmering water, making sure the jars are completely submerged. Let the green beans process for 10 minutes, then remove them from the water and cool. After the green beans have cooled overnight, enjoy them with a sandwich for lunch, bring them along on a picnic or enjoy them on their own as a refreshing snack.<\/p>\n Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> This processing time is for altitudes of 1,000 feet or less. For altitudes up to 3,000 feet, add 5 minutes; 6,000 feet, add 10 minutes; 8,000 feet, add 15 minutes; 10,000 feet, add 20 minutes.<\/p>\n Unopened, pickled green beans will last about a year when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, try to use leftover pickled green beans within two weeks (if they last that long!).<\/p>\n While it\u2019s best to let pickled green beans sit overnight to cool and let the flavors blend, you can eat them right after being processed.<\/p>\n While we think pickled green beans are the best, there are other ways to preserve them. Some other methods include freezing, fermenting and dry freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Make your summer produce go the extra mile with this easy pickled green beans recipe.

Pickled Green Beans Tips<\/h2>\n
How long do pickled green beans last?<\/h3>\n
How long do you have to wait to eat pickled green beans?<\/h3>\n
What is the best way to preserve green beans?<\/h3>\n
How far down should you trim the green beans?<\/h3>Before you get to pickling, remove the tough, withered ends from the beans. You can do this with a knife or scissors, but your hands work just as well. Ideally, you should trim just enough off to allow the green beans to fit into the mason jars with a half-inch of space at the top. This is a great task for getting your kids involved in the kitchen<\/a>! \r\n
How do you serve pickled green beans? <\/h3>These pickled green beans make for a great snack on their own. They're also a great addition to a homemade charcuterie board! Here\u2019s how to make a charcuterie board<\/a> for any party.\r\n
How long will pickled green beans last? <\/h3>An unopened jar of pickled vegetables can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 years. Once opened, it must be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container, for up to 3 months. Try whipping up a batch of pickling spices<\/a> to keep on hand for future pickling!
