This is a simple recipe to make Pickled Green Beans or almost any pickled vegetable!

I have always loved pickles and with as many green beans as my garden has been giving lately, I wanted to try making Pickled Green Beans. I am so glad I did! They are at least as good as pickles made from cucumbers.

I can my green beans mostly but sometimes only get a pound or two at a time. This is a great thing to do with those smaller pickings.

Many things can be pickled with this recipe. I had a few cucumbers and peppers so made a can of each of those too. Yummy! 🙂 Just double, triple or more the recipe to make bigger batches.

If you are interested in canning broth or canning peaches, I have posts for those also.

You can also skip the canning process and keep them in the refrigerator for a week before eating if you will eat them fairly quickly.
