This recipe looked easy enough in Everyday Food. It's not online yet. Other than the pain of trimming tons of wax beans, the brine was easy and they stay for 2 months! I'll check the taste in a few days.
- 1 lb wax beans, trimmed
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 4 cups white wine vinegar
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 tsp fennel seeds (I didn't have any)
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
- In 2 Qt-sized glass jars, arrange beans upright and place 2 sprigs thyme in each. 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 space at top of each jar; seal and refrigerate at least 3 days before serving.
