Gather all the ingredients.
- 2
Check six 1/2-pint jars for cracks and the rings for rust, discarding any that are defective. Submerge them in simmering water. Wash the new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
- 3
While the jars sterilize, mix the vinegar, water, and salt in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- 4
Trim the green beans to 1/4 inch shorter than the jars.
- 5
Take the jars out of the simmering water. Put 1 sprig of dill and 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes in each jar. Pack the green beans in, standing them on end.
- 6
Ladle the boiling brine (leave out the garlic) into the jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the tops. Seal the jars with the lids and rings.
- 7
Set a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water.
- 8
Bring the water to a boil and lower the jars, spaced 2 inches apart, into the boiling water using a holder.
- 9
Add more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a simmer (do not boil), cover, and process for 10 minutes.
- 10
Remove the jars from the stockpot and let them cool to room temperature, 8 to 12 hours. Check the seals by pressing the center of each lid—it should not move.
- 11
Let the green beans ferment for 2 to 3 weeks in a cool, dark place before eating.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
