Ingredients

• ✓ green bean
• garlic
• dill weed
• salt
• white vinegar
• water

Instructions

1. 1 Inspect four pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until beans are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
2. 2 Place green beans into a steamer basket over 1 inch of boiling water. Cover and cook until tender but still firm, about 3 minutes. Plunge beans into ice water, then drain well.
3. 3 Pack beans into hot, sterilized jars. Add a garlic clove and 1 teaspoon salt to each jar, then slide in two sprigs of dill against the glass.
4. 4 Bring vinegar and water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Pour over beans, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
5. 5 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
6. 6 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Ingredients

• ✓ green bean
• apple cider vinegar
• water
• pickling salt
• garlic
• dill seed
• red pepper
• cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Inspect three pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Place jars onto a rack and submerge in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
2. 2 Meanwhile, combine vinegar, water, and pickling salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
3. 3 Remove one empty jar from the canning pot. Place 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dill seed, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper into the jar, then pack with green beans, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Slowly pour hot brine over beans, again leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of the jars. Slip in additional beans if space allows; check headspace again and add more brine if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from the top. Repeat to fill remaining two jars.
4. 4 Wipe the jar rims, then apply the lids and bands (not too tightly), and return the jars to the canning pot. Cover the pot and return the water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the pot lid, and let the jars stand in the cooling water for 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
5. 5 Move the jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking the seals.
