In reply to Bobbie. Doesn't look like he's doing water bath canning but rather cooling & fermenting the beans. I've never done fermenting so I'm questioning this in above comments.

In reply to Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DNM, CN. Will fermenting seal the lids? How long will this take to seal? Can you have unsealed jars of green beans out of the fridge?

In reply to Carol Weber. Check the recommendation on newer lids. I believe it says to not boil them any longer but put in hot (near boiling) water. Many newer lids aren't great!

You say “When cooled, seal the jars with lids (and potentially rings). Allow green beans to ferment for 2 to 3 weeks in a cool, dark space before serving.”. Can you lids put on & water bath can instead of fermenting?

I followed the directions but none of my jars sealed. My lids were in boiling water.

In reply to Debbie. The asterisk just referred to the dill being optional. Mixture should be completely cooled down before the lids go on.

There is an asterisk next to the full on the ingredient list but not sure what it is referring to. Also I would think the kids would have to go on while the mixture is hot to be able to seal the jar, right?

Do you use mason jars with lids and rings? If so, watch for the depression when sealed like when canning. They should make a pinging sound. Am I correct?
