Preparation Steps
  1. In a large saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, sweetener, kosher salt, crushed garlic, dried oregano, and coriander seeds. Heat on medium-high until boiling (about 5 minutes). Stir to dissolve completely.
  2. Prepare 5 clean pint jars. Fill them halfway with cleaned and trimmed green beans. Add sliced jalapeños and cayenne peppers.
  3. Pour the boiling brine over the vegetables in the jars, covering completely and leaving a little space at the top.
  4. Let the jars cool for about 30 minutes with lids loosely placed to allow for airing.
  5. Once cool, seal the jars and refrigerate. Let marinate for at least 24 hours.
  6. After 24 hours, enjoy your pickles as a snack, salad addition, or cocktail garnish.
