I have been given the harvesting rights on a large garden full of a few varieties of GB's. An older neighbor that can no longer deal with his garden due to health reasons. Want to preserve some of the harvest for him, using a few different methods as a thankyou gift. Will be freezing my share for the most part.
Let me know what you decide on doing. I only grew snow peas this year, but planning to do a row or half row of green beans next year. We just ate all of the snow peas fresh...they were too good.
Ended up freezing most of them, but did make 4 jars of "refrigerator pickles" with some minced garlic, shallot slices and black peppercorns. Turned out good. But I like all sorts of pickled stuff, so there is some personal bias there.
I've had nonstop refrigerator pickles of cukes and banana/hungarian was peppers for the last 3 months. My tomato plants are dying so tomato canning is coming this weekend
Some co-workers of mine canned their shares from our work garden. I don't know the recipes they use but here's a recipe
I've also had pickled green beans before but haven't tried to make them myself.
