Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb green beans washed and trimmed
  • 2.5 cups white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cloves garlic whole
  • 4 dried chili peppers
  • 3 tablespoons Sea Salt
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a pot, heat the vinegar, water, and salt and bring to a boil.
  • Sterilize jars and lids, I used  quart-sized canning jars (this recipe makes 2 quarts)
  • To each jar, add 2 cloves garlic, 2 dried chili peppers, and 1/2 tablespoon mustard seed.
  • Divide green beans into each jar, and fill remainder of the space with vinegar liquid. Seal with lids and bands. After an hour, make sure the jars have a proper seal and don't pop back up when you press down on the lids.
  • Allow the jars to cool at room temperature before placing in the fridge to cool. These beans should keep for up to 2 weeks, so make sure to eat them before then.

Notes

This recipe is NOT meant as a long-term canning or preserving recipe, just a quick way to eat some green beans within 2 weeks.  For long term canning and food storage recipes, I'd recommend consulting this Ball Jar Canning Cookbook!
