Homemade Jalapeno Garlic Pickled Beans

These green beans are my first pickled project possibly ever. I love a pickled anything by no means everyday, but now and then a dill pickle, pickled carrots on a taco or these spicy garlicky green beans hit the spot. I really just like saying the word pickle because anything that rhymes with tickle makes me smile. Exemption: Sickle.

The true inspiration came from having a wonderful cheese plate the other day and I thought I want to have a picnic with a great spread of cheeses, veggies, and pickled green beans. What is great about these pickled green beans? They are not fickle and easy to make, a piece of cake… Mmm, cake!

Follow the recipe and then take your honey for a picnic down by the lake (or beach)
