I used to think making pickles was something other people did – wise, earthy people who lived on idyllic farms in pastoral settings with huge farmhouse kitchens and time on their hands due to a simpler way of life. I wanted to be one of those people but sadly, my life is not simple, I don’t have a farm, a farmhouse kitchen, or any extra time on my hands. (Plus I seem to be “canning challenged” – past attempts at conventional canning have ended up with explosions, glass flying like shrapnel, and huge messes to contend with.)
And then I discovered the art of making quick pickles. I realized I didn’t have to be one of those envious people. I could make delicious pickles being exactly who I am and possessing exactly what I already have. It was then I started to pickle anything I could get my hands on.
Green beans are always easy to find and are a fun alternative to the standard cucumber pickles. They are great as a side, as a fancy addition to Nicoise Salad, and also pretty cool as a garnish in a Bloody Mary. I love to just snack on them!
Quick pickles like this will last up to a week refrigerated.
Recipe Notes: Since my Farmer’s market green beans and fresh dill from my garden are organic, I maintained the “organicness” by using Wholesome Sweeteners organic sugar, organic spices, and organic distilled white vinegar. Pickles I can feel so good about!
