Pickled all my garden beans, was gonna save some by freezing for a family dinner, but the recipe I used called for 1.5lbs, and well I had exactly 700grams, so I used them all.

I mostly followed this recipe, with some modifications, that I got from another post earlier this week.

I doubled the sugar, and put 4 cloves in each jar instead of 2 for all. I don’t like vinegar that much, so hopefully these are more dilly and garlic.

I’ll see how they turned out in a week!

That's such a shame because they looked so beautiful in the jars raw .

I was quite surprised with how striking the purple was, now the pickling liquid is maroon and the garlic has taken on quite the blue colour. Reminds me of blue cheese a little too much >.<
