Sweet Pickled Wax Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and string beans.
• Cut into small pieces.
• Boil in salt water until just tender.
• Put sugar, flour, mustard, spices, and vinegar in pot.
• Boil until thick.
• Drain beans and pour dressing over them.
• Seal in sterilized jars.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil; add salt. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Cook beans until just tender, about 3 minutes. Immediately transfer with tongs to the ice-water bath. Drain well, and transfer to a large bowl.
• Bring 3 cups water, the vinegar, 3 tablespoons salt, the garlic, and the cayenne to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer 4 minutes. Pour brine over beans. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Transfer to airtight containers; refrigerate at least 1 week (pickles will keep 3 weeks more).

Steps:

• In two quart-size glass jars, arrange beans upright and place 2 sprigs thyme in each jar. In a small saucepan, bring vinegar, sugar, garlic, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and 1 cup water to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Pour cooled brine over beans, leaving a 1/2-inch space at top of each jar; seal and refrigerate at least 3 days before serving.
