Green beans grow like crazy in my garden, so this year I decided to quick pickle a batch. I think they’ll be tasty.
Pickled green beans are amazing in martinis. I prefer them over pickled onions.
Good to know. I’ll keep that in mind!
Quick pickle or full fermenting?
We usually do some quick fridge pickles with our green beans
Quick pickle. I’m not confident enough to full on ferment some food I’m gonna feed my family. Same reason I don’t mushroom hunt.
Same. I would like to try but will have to work up to it.
Green beans are very prolific. It’s a good thing I really enjoy them. And I like yellow wax beans best. I haven’t made pickled green beans in a long time.
Get on it, friend. :)
Great, underused pickling vegetable. I think they make a nice addition to a Bloody Mary.
Ooooo… I love a bloody mary. Someone above commented that they’re great in martinis too.
I’ve got some I should probably get off the bush last week.
Other than blanching and freezing idk what to do, what’s the recipe you used? I’m not a huge fan of vinegar lately though.
Blanching and freezing work great. I did that last year and will do it again this year.
I used this quick pickle recipe: https://www.spendwithpennies.com/quick-pickled-green-beans/ it is NOT SHELF STABLE. If you hold off a week I can report back on the taste. Just reply to this to remind me. Also, the recipe uses vinegar, but that’s how most quick pickle recipes are.
If you can afford a canner and related supplies, here’s a link with everything you need to know to do it right and safely: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can bookmark that shiz.
May be a day early, but how did they turn out? I got a decent haul off my plants yesterday and should deal with them today.
Also, I have now tried the canned green beans. They were acidic and sweeter. I wouldn’t describe the flavor as vinegary, but I don’t hate vinegar so ymmv. I put cloves of garlic, lots of fresh dill, a dash of mustard powder and a touch of red pepper flakes in my pickling jars.
I don’t know how to describe it, but I don’t mind spicy stuff, but franks vinegar based hot sauces are a turn off. I don’t mind pickles that are sweeter or garlic dill. So I think I’ll go heavy on those with some more sugar. I should have enough to try a few batch’s in small jars.
They look great! Bon appetit
I see a girl with long hair.
