Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Green beans, trimmed
- 5 cups White vinegar (5% acidity)
- 5 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Canning or pickling salt
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 2 teaspoons Yellow mustard seeds
- 6 Garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 6 Fresh dill sprigs (optional)
- 6 pint-sized jars Canning jars with lids and bands
Instructions
Wash and sterilize 6 pint-sized canning jars, lids, and bands by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Keep warm until ready to use.
In a large stockpot, bring a water bath canner to a simmer while preparing the recipe.
Trim the ends off the green beans. Cut them into uniform lengths to fit upright in the jars if necessary.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, canning salt, curry powder, and mustard seeds. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the salt.
Pack the trimmed green beans tightly into the warm jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Divide the sliced garlic, red pepper flakes, and dill sprigs (if using) evenly among the jars, tucking them in with the beans.
Carefully pour the hot brine over the green beans in each jar, ensuring the beans are fully covered and leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Use a non-metallic utensil to remove air bubbles and adjust the headspace as necessary.
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to ensure a proper seal. Place the lids on the jars and screw on the bands until fingertip-tight.
Place the jars in the water bath canner, ensuring they are fully submerged with at least 1 inch of water above the tops. Bring the water to a boil and process the jars for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary).
Remove the jars from the canner and let them cool on a towel-lined counter for 12-24 hours. Check that the lids have sealed properly; the center should be indented and not move when pressed.
Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. If any jar hasn't sealed, refrigerate it and consume within 1-2 weeks.
