Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions:
- Start by washing your green beans and trimming off the ends. Make sure they’re nice and fresh!
- In a medium pot, combine the white vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Stir over medium heat until the salt and sugar dissolve. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes and then remove from heat.
- Pack your trimmed green beans into clean, sterilized jars. Make sure to leave some room at the top!
- Now, place the garlic, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, red pepper flakes (if you’re using them), and dill among the green beans in each jar. Feel free to add as much or as little as you like.
- Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the beans in each jar, making sure to cover them completely. Leave about half an inch of space at the top.
- Seal the jars tightly and let them cool to room temperature. Once they’re cool, pop them in the fridge!
- For the best flavor, let those green beans sit for at least 24 hours in the fridge before diving in. They’ll only get better with time!
