Recipes: Pickled Green Beans
Making Pickled Green Beans
Our family loves green beans. Fresh garden green beans are so tasty too! We always planted a lot of green beans whenever we had a garden. We typically had several varieties of beans from foot long beans to different types of green beans to purple beans and more.
Whenever we had extra green beans we would look for a variety of ways to store, eat, and enjoy them. I recently came across our Pickled Green Bean recipe. Since it is Spring I thought it would be a good time to share it. These pickled green beans are crunchy and tasty!
Pickled Green Beans Recipe:
- 2 pounds fresh Green Beans (rinsed)
- 2 1/2 cups White Distilled Vinegar
- 2 1/2 cups Water
- 1/4 cup Salt
- 4 Garlic Cloves (peeled)
- 1 large bunch fresh Dill Weed
- 2 teaspoons Mustard Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 6 Jars (1/2 pint each) with Rings and Lids
1. Locate your jars and sterilize them.
2. Trim both ends off the rinsed fresh green beans. Make sure the green beans fit into your jars if not cut them in half.
3. In a large saucepan put the vinegar, water, and salt. Bring the mixture into a rolling boil over high heat.
4. In each jar place 1 garlic clove, 1 sprig of dill, 1/8 teaspoon of Red Pepper Flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon of Mustard Seeds.
5. Pack the green beans into the jars, standing them up vertically.
6. Ladle boiling mixture into the jars until it is 1/4 inch from the top.
7. Put the lids on the jars and allow the jars and contents to cool to room temperature before placing them into the refrigerator. Let the pickles ferment for 2 to 3 weeks before eating the pickled green beans.
Makes 6 pint sized jars of Pickled Green Beans.

Fresh & Healthy: Our Garden – Beans, Peas, and Tomatoes….Oh My!
Purple Beans, Green Beans, Snow Peas, Red Cherry Tomatoes, and Orange Cherry Tomatoes
The garden is starting to take off and we are getting more of a variety of color as well as veggies. It is so nice having fresh garden produce in the fridge again! I saw more colors popping out this week too. Our family was able to pick purple beans, green beans, orange cherry tomatoes, red cherry tomatoes and snow peas. There’s nothing like eating a vegetable just picked moments before from the garden. It has been great having these for snacks and meals. I am hoping to see a lot more produce ready to be eaten in the next few weeks!a
While we are out of town the people watching the house and animals gets to pick what they need / want from the garden. Hopefully they’ll be able to get a lot of great food for their family too. It is my prayer that our garden will not only be a delicious treat for our family but a blessing to others as well.

Fresh Produce from the Garden that we gave away. We have been blessed with a wonderful garden this summer. It was a great learning experience for the girls. They enjoyed planting, watering, picking, washing, eating, and giving away the produce. The weed pulling wasn’t a highlight for them but they did pitch in and help a few times. I am thankful for how well the vegetables and fruit produced.
We recently replanted the garden for Fall Harvest so we are in between stages right now. The tomatoes are slowing down but still producing a few. Our four okra plants have been consistently producing as well. The above basket was one that we were able to give to several people at Jake’s work. It has been a tremendous blessing being able to share the garden vegetables with others.

We have had a lot of great tomatoes the last couple of weeks. If you are looking for a new recipe to try using fresh tomatoes check out the one that my friend Ashley from Reflecting on the Simple Things in Life posted called “Tomato Pie”!

Fresh & Healthy: Our Garden – Green Beans, Summer Squash, Lettuce, Cucumbers, Purple Beans, and a variety of Tomatoes!
We are loving the fresh vegetables from our garden! This week I only have one picture from the garden because we were traveling for part of the week. The good news is we were able to take some of our goodies from the garden to share with family along the way and we came back to some more fresh ones ready to be picked. Also, while we are gone my brother and his family get to pick any of the produce that is ready for themselves or to give away so I didn’t get pictures of the items they picked while we were out of town.
Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:
Fresh Garden Vegetables! We were able to pick this all in one day fresh from the garden. Fresh Summer Squash, Green Beans, Cucumbers, Cherry Tomatoes, Roma Tomatoes, Whole Size Tomatoes, Big Yellow / Orange Tomatoes, Fresh Leafy Green Lettuce, Purple Beans, Banana Peppers, Green Pepper, (some are not pictured because they were given away prior to the picture being taken). We were able to share some of the veggies this week with family and friends! Thankful for a garden that we can share!

Fresh & Healthy: Our Garden – Leafy Lettuce, Zucchini, Summer Squash, Purple Beans, Strawberries, Tomatoes, Green Beans, Cabbage, and Cauliflower!!
We are loving the fresh vegetables from our garden! This week I did a little better at taking pictures of the items our family picked. Although I must say the strawberries didn’t get in most of the pictures, they were ate immediately after washing. We were able to give some of the garden produce to friends and family this week so it is nice that the garden is producing extra to share with others.
Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:
Produce from the garden! We hadn’t been out in several days because of unexpected emergencies with friends and a busy week so we got quite a bit in this batch. We had a whole bunch full of green beans and purple beans, 2 heads of cabbage, 2 heads of cauliflower, lots of cherry and roma tomatoes, leafy green lettuce, purple leaf lettuce, cucumbers and strawberries!
Giant Zucchini and Summer Squash from the garden! The girls were VERY excited to pick these, as they called them, GIANT Vegetables! We are hoping to get a couple more later in the week!

We are loving the fresh vegetables from our garden! This week I did better at taking pictures of the items our family picked. We were traveling for a few day. Hopefully my brother who was watching the house was able to get a few items out of the garden to use for their family.
Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:
Fresh from the Garden - Leafy Lettuce, Zucchini, Summer Squash, Cherry and Roma Tomatoes, Strawberries, Green Beans, and Purple Beans. We got two more big bags of leafy lettuce before we had to pull the stocks because they were flowering. The zucchini and summer squash are starting to picking. We’ve been getting a few strawberries and a couple handfuls of cherry tomatoes more regularly now. We have both green and purple beans producing now in the garden.
Big Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, Purple Beans, Summer Squash, Leafy Green Lettuce, Snow Peas, Strawberry and Green Beans from the Garden The snow peas have been amazing and delicious to eat fresh for snacks and in baking, however, they are pretty much done producing. The lettuce is slowing down too but we hope to get a few more salads in before it completely wraps up for the season. On a more positive note the tomatoes, beans, and squash are still going pretty strong despite all the storms.
We were able to share some of the veggies this week with family, friends and people at our church. During the summer months our church does a “Corner Harvest” where people can share fresh produce from their garden. It is neat to see what other families are growing and share our produce.
