Notes
How Long Do These Pickled Beans Last?
This is a quick refrigerator pickle recipe, and not suitable for long-term storage or canning! It will last just 2 weeks in the refrigerator, so plan to enjoy these pickled beans quick! 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 an official canning cookbook.Substitutions and Variations
- Instead of dried chili peppes, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes, or even fresh peppers if desired. Add more pepper for a spicier pickle!
- I added dill for a tasty dilly bean flavor, but you can skip or omit if you don't like the flavor of dill. These beans are delicious without it too.
