It ’s been a busy summer around here , but that ’s a poor apology for letting the beautiful yellow filet rod beans get out of hand . These Gallic Gold beans are the haricot verts found in bin at farmer ’s securities industry and specialty grocers . They ’re tasty when picked and eaten while slim and stamp .

But my beans develop too quickly and I was n’t around to piece the long , sparse pods every few days . So or else of tender beans for steaming , these beans get thick and furious .

I decide to pickle them and to do so in the flying , loose path possible — by using the jarful of remnant dill pickle juice I ’d been keep in the fridge .

If you have n’t used pickle juice before , you do n’t bed what you ’re missing . I ’ve added the juice to potato salad in property of vinegar , used it to pickle hard - boiled eggs , and marinade veggie in it .

Easy Pickled Beans

The dilled beans will remain crunchy - crisp for several months in the refrigerator . Eat them with sandwich , add them to an appetizer tray , or use them rather of Apium graveolens dulce in a Bloody Mary .
