After the 25 min. at 240º, they are pretty soft - That would make for some very soft pickled beans. Since I prefer very crisp pickles, even my beans, I would shy away from pickling canned ones.

However, there is no reason why you couldn’t if you like them that way.

Those beans should be good for several years as they are.

I tried something with my green beans this year and since I had one jar that failed to seal, I got to try it. After blanching and packing them in jars, I boiled water with powdered ham bullion - and some with chicken bullion and filled to within 1 in. and processed them - talk about soul food..... A jar of that and a jar of potato chunks and I could make a meal of it... already seasoned and everything.
