As well as enjoying these as a pickle, spicy beans are popular as a garnish for cocktails, such as a Caesar. If fresh hot peppers and whole dill are unavailable, substitute dried red chili peppers and 4 sprigs fresh dill for each dill head.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans
  • 1 lb yellow wax beans
  • 4 small hot red peppers
  • 4 heads fresh dill
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 tsp mustard seeds
  • 2-1/2 cups water
  • 2-1/2 cups white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp pickling salt

Preparation

Cut green and yellow beans to 3-1/2-inch (9 cm) lengths, discarding stem end. Cut slit lengthwise in hot peppers. Set aside.

Into each of four 2-cup (500 mL) canning jars, pack 1 head dill, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp (5 mL) mustard seeds and 1 hot red pepper. Tightly pack in beans, cut side up.

In saucepan, bring water, vinegar and salt to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Pour into each jar, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) headspace.
