Snappy and vibrant pickled green beans are captured and preserved at the peak of summer freshness. And the brine is blessedly simple  — made from vinegar, cane sugar, garlic, salt, and spices — it really allows the seasonal beans to shine. 
 
*Pickled beans make a great base for Chow-Chow. Simply combine with whole grain mustard, chopped tomato (green, if ya got it!), corn off the cob, and some thinly sliced pickled onion.
