Yields about 1 quart

You will need:
1 quart snap peas
3 cups water (filtered or bottled is best)
4 teaspoons sea salt
3 Tablespoons pickling spice
4 cloves garlic, halved
4 sprigs fresh dill
  1. Wash snap peas and string them, pinching off the blossom end.
  2. Mix water and salt to form a brine.
  3. Add spices, garlic, dill, and snap peas to the bottom of a half gallon jar. Cover with brine.
  4. Create a water weight, filling a plastic bag with any remaining brine to submerge the snap peas under the liquid. Cover the jar with a clean towel, securing it with a rubber band so contents are protected from critters but can still breathe.
  5. Store jar in a cool place (65 to 75º F) for one week to ten days.
  6. When beans are sufficiently sour, cover jar tightly with a lid and refrigerate.
  7. Enjoy the delicious probiotics!
