Pickled green beans without canning
We don’t can anything because I’m not allowed to serve home canned food to the daycare kids, so we do refrigerator pickling. It’s so good and so fast and easy with no special equipment needed. It helps your garden produce last longer. They keep for several months in the refrigerator. You can also pickle cucumbers and okra in the refrigerator.

You need 2 ½ pounds of blanched green beans to get started. It doesn’t matter what kind of green beans. We used Asian long beans because that’s what we were growing, but any kind works the same way.
