In a saucepan, bring vinegar, water, and salt to a simmer.
Wash the jars, lids, and bands in hot soapy water.
Place 1 clove of garlic in each clean, hot jar.
Pack the beans into the jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
Fill the jars with the brine. Using the bubble popper, remove any trapped air and adjust headspace if necessary.
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean dry paper towel.
Place the lids on the jars and tighten the rings finger tip tight.
Using the jar lifter, lower the jars into the boiling water, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
Remove the jars from the water bath to a towel lined cutting board.
Allow to rest for 12 hours before labeling, dating, and storing. If any jars did not seal, refrigerate and use first.
