I just made these. Waiting to try them. I’m worried my brine cooled down too much before pouring over the beans. Every other recipe I’ve seen calls for blanching beans first or pouring the boiling brine over them??? The other sites said because of botulism. 

The lids sealed. Were they supposed to?

HELP I AM SOO WORRIED.

One of the tastiest things I’ve ever made.  Two tweaks.  I toasted the mustard seeds first.  I also used ras al hanout instead of crushed red pepper, which imparted a slightly smoky, mysterious background note.  I’m addicted.

Very good. Not sweet tho.Spicy but not to much. Was a hit with my coworkers.

The beans are wonderful. But retrieving the recipe is disgusting, just like most all the recipes have been since you have tried to change a good thing. Food network, where are your quality control people? Printing this recipe is another one of your nightmares. More than half the information didn’t print, and I had to write it by hand. And why don’t we have the option to print out 3×5 and 4×6 “cards” as before? Hundreds of us still use recipe file boxes. which are storage friendly and easier to handle and use.
You’ve got to do something with all this mess. Very annoying and disappointing…and not very considerate for your hard working chefs.
