Making and canning your own Pickled Three-Bean Salad is easy with this recipe! You can use an ordinary water bath canner to "can" it, or refrigerate it to eat fresh.
Ingredients
- 11/2 cups cut and blanched green or yellow beans (prepared as below)
- 11/2 cups canned, drained, red kidney beans
- 1 cup canned, drained garbanzo beans (also called "chick peas")
- 1/2 cup peeled and thinly sliced onion (about 1 medium onion)
- 1/2 cup trimmed and thinly sliced celery (11/2 medium stalks)
- 1/2 cup sliced green peppers (or 1/2 medium pepper)
- 1/2 cup white vinegar (5 percent acidity)
- 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/2 teaspoon canning or pickling salt
- 11/4 cups water
Equipment
- 1 Water Bath Canner (a huge pot to sanitize the jars after filling (about $30 to $35 at mall kitchen stores, sometimes at big box stores and grocery stores.). Note: we sell many sizes and types of canners for all types of stoves and needs - see canning supplies
- Pint canning jars (Ball or Kerr jars can be found at grocery stores, like Safeway, Publix, Kroger, grocery stores, even online - about $13 per dozen 8-ounce jars, more for quilted design or larger jars, including the lids and rings). Be sure to get wide mouth jars to fit the pickles in! Pint size works best!
- Lids - thin, flat, round metal lids with a gum binder that seals them against the top of the jar. They may only be used once.
- Rings - metal bands that secure the lids to the jars. They may be reused many times.
- Jar grabber (to pick up the hot jars)
- Lid lifter (I like the lid rack that holds 12 lids or you can pull them out one at a time with the lid-lifter that has a magnet from the almost-boiling water where you sanitize them. ($4 at Target, other big box stores, and often grocery stores; and available online - see this page)
- Jar funnel ($5 at Target, other big box stores, and often grocery stores; and available online - see this page)
- 1 large pot; Nonstick ceramic coated pots for easy cleanup.
- Large spoons and ladles,
Pickled Three-Bean Salad Directions - Step by Step
Step 1 - Wash the fresh green beans.
Wash the beans under cool running water.
Step 2 - Trim the ends
Just take a sharp knife and cut of both ends (about 1/4 of an i
nch, or
half the width of an average woman's little finger). Then cut them
into pieces of the size you prefer, usually about 1 inch long.
Of
course, if your prefer French cut green beans, you can cut the beans
lengthwise instead, or you can use a "bean Frencher" (No, that does not
make the beans want to wear a beret, "mime" or surrender quickly, it's just the name..
). The "Frencher" enables you to prepare a huge quantity of beans
quickly!
See the bottom of this page for makes, models, prices and ordering info for bean frenchers.
