Dilly Wax Beans Ingredients

Method

Dilly Wax Beans Directions

1

Prepare the Beans

Wash the fresh wax beans thoroughly. Trim the ends and cut them into halves if they are long.

2

Make the Brine

In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

3

Pack the Jars

In sterilized canning jars, layer the wax beans, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Leave about half an inch of space at the top of the jars.

4

Add the Brine

Pour the hot brine over the packed beans in the jars, ensuring they are fully submerged. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to remove any residue.

5

Seal and Process

Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove from the water and let cool completely.

6

Store

Once cooled, check the seals on the jars. Store in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours before opening for the best flavor.
