I’m suddenly swimming in delicious green beans. I’d like to pickle some. What are your favorite or recommended recipes? TIA!
Steam, butter, salt & pepper. I often cook up more than I need, they reheat pretty well.
Edit: oops, big dummy here, I missed the “pickled” 
I like those spicy ones they put in a Bloody Mary. I’ve never made them, though.
I’ve used the recipe on the gov canning site. It’s pretty good but definitely add the optional clove of garlic and a hot pepper, too. (Dilled Beans - National Center for Home Food Preservation)
Thanks, Brian. I’ll use that as a guide, as I was hoping to find something that involved processing them so storage wasn’t an issue. I’ll probably throw in a chili because, as Abbie said, a little spice is awesome with pickled beans.

@Paul_Bacino posted a recipe on this board a long time ago that I favor. (pretty sure it was Paul!)
and thank you for this thread, as I had kind of forgotten about them — don’t think I’ve made them for a couple years now. Time to fix that!
Lacto fermented similar to sauerkraut/kimchi/dill pickles etc with serrano chiles & peppercorns for some heat.
Here’s Paul’s recipe: https://www.wineberserkers.com/t/spicy-green-beans/48816
I like quartering a few jalapenos lengthwise and putting them in there, too.
I think that I am going to have to try these.

That would be the correct answer. 
Anything that you would add to recipe or change other than the jalapeños? I’m used to reading all the NYT comments from those that have made the recipe.

I pump up the hot sauce QTY, too.
Other than that, I recommend your first batch or three follow the recipe.

You need some Tabasco peppers in there, Abbie.
I forgot to buy a hot pepper, so I used tabasco sauce and Flatiron pepper flake blend (it’s spicy!).

I try to wait two weeks. I’ve had success waiting only 10 days. Best to wait a month.
