  2. 2 Inspect six ½-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  3. 3 While the jars are being sterilized, stir together vinegar, water, and salt in a large saucepan. Add garlic and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  4. 4 Trim green beans to 1/4-inch shorter than the jars.
  5. 5 Remove jars from simmering water. Place 1 sprig of dill and 1⁄8 teaspoon red pepper flakes in each jar. Pack in green beans standing on end.
  6. 6 Ladle boiling brine (leave out garlic) into the jars, filling within ¼-inch of the tops. Seal jars with lids and rings.
  7. 7 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water.
  8. 8 Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder.
