Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound fresh green beans
  • 1 jalapeño pepper sliced
  • 2 lemon slices
  • 1 clove garlic sliced
  • 1 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Pack green beans in a 1 pint heat proof jar, adding the sliced garlic clove, lemon slices and jalapeño slices.
  • Bring to a boil - the rice vinegar, granulated sugar and kosher salt. Stirring to make sure the sugar dissolves.
  • Pour the hot vinegar mixture over green beans or veggies in the jar. Let stand for about one hour or until completely cool.
  • Seal jar and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Recipe notes: The hot vinegar will heat the vegetables enough to release their juices and the veggies will shrink up a bit. That's why packing the green beans in the jar is important. I usually include four or five jalapeño slices per jar. Note, you may want to remove all the jalapeño seeds depending on the desired level of spiciness.
