One Jar Dilly Beans
These snappy, sour and spicy one jar dilly beans will kick up your caesars, liven your charcuterie boards, and serve you well for a cheeky out-of-the-jar snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tsp chili pepper flakes
- 4 dill flowers or 2 tsp dill seeds
- enough beans to fill the jar less than a pound
Instructions
- Sterilize the mason jar in a large pot of water by boiling it in water for five minutes. Keep warm. If you are using a mason jar lid, sterilize it by pouring boiling water over it in a bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, add the water, vinegar, salt and sugar.
- Bring everything to a boil in the saucepan and keep it bubbling on medium high for five minutes until the salt and sugar are dissolved.
- Using tongs, remove the sterilized jar from the pot.
- Add the chilli flakes, crushed garlic, dill flowers, and the beans to the jar.
- Funnel the hot brine into the jar making sure that the beans are completely submerged.
- Screw on the lid and allow to cool before transferring to the fridge.
Notes
- Wait a week before digging into the dilly beans.
- To preserve these for the long term, make sure to get out any lurking air bubbles before processing the beans via pressure or water bath.
