Instructions

Make your brine: in a saucepan, bring water, vinegar, salt, sugar, and garlic to a boil. Once it has boiled and the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat, set aside and allow it to come to room temperature.
Blanch the beans: boil green beans for 1 minute, and then drain and immediately put in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. Drain the beans and set aside.
In your clean jars, place onion, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes in the bottom. (Distribute evenly among jars.)
Add your beans to the jars. Tuck some of the dill amongst the beans.
Pour the brine over the beans, put a lid on them and keep them on the counter for 12 hours. Transfer to the fridge. Allow them to sit in the fridge for 2 days before consuming.

Notes

Keep jars refrigerated. Dilly Beans prepared this way are delicious, but not shelf-stable.
