Pickled Green Beans Tips
How far down should you trim the green beans?
Before you get to pickling, remove the tough, withered ends from the beans. You can do this with a knife or scissors, but your hands work just as well. Ideally, you should trim just enough off to allow the green beans to fit into the mason jars with a half-inch of space at the top. This is a great task for
getting your kids involved in the kitchen!
How do you serve pickled green beans?
These pickled green beans make for a great snack on their own. They're also a great addition to a homemade charcuterie board! Here’s

How long will pickled green beans last?
An unopened jar of pickled vegetables can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 years. Once opened, it must be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container, for up to 3 months. Try whipping up a batch of
pickling spices to keep on hand for future pickling!
