Method
 

Steps
  1. In a large saucepan, combine 3 cups of water, 3 cups of white vinegar, ¾ cup of sweetener, and ¼ cup of kosher salt. Add 4 crushed garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons of oregano, and 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds into the mixture. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, about 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat.
  2. While the brine is heating, take 5 pint jars and evenly distribute 1 ½ pounds of cleaned and trimmed green beans along with the sliced jalapeño and cayenne peppers. Pack tightly without crushing.
  3. Carefully pour the hot pickling brine over the vegetables in each jar, covering completely and leaving about half an inch of space at the top.
  4. Allow the brine to cool for a few minutes before sealing each jar with its lid. Place on the kitchen counter until reaching room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  5. After cooling, transfer the jars to the refrigerator. Let chill overnight for the best flavor enhancement.
  6. After marinating overnight, serve the Quick Pickled Green Beans as a crunchy snack or use them in salads or cocktails.
