How to Make Mustard Bean Pickles

  1. Wash and trim 1 lb of green beans. Snap off the ends and discard.
  2. Cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water (1 tablespoon salt) to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup mustard, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon celery seed, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of vinegar until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a syrupy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Add the drained green beans to the thickened sauce and gently stir to coat evenly.
  7. Carefully ladle the bean mixture into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal the jars tightly, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure safe preservation (optional, but recommended for long-term storage).
