My husband and I are very hopeful with this recipe. We were not successful with our bushel last year using the method in my father's Foxfire book. We lost the whole batch.
We only used half runners though, in this recipe, because we have always pickled our corn by the entire cob for years and had nothing but success!
To the question...
After we are satisfied with the flavor and downsize to quart jars to place in the refrigerator....are we to use the brine that was in the crock to fill the jars after we've filled them with beans? And also, can the beans be frozen after we pull them out?

This is the correct way that we do this in the mountains of Tennessee, however we cook both the beans and corn first. I don't know what the difference is taste wise, but, our way is also delicious! My mother-in-law pickled beans and corn exactly like this. One thing I've often wondered though, if you pack them in jars, they don't have to be "processed" in a canner do they? Will they just stay good without processing them? AND, can you just leave them in the crock and eat them when you want some?
My mother-in-law's was in a jar, but I don't know if she processed them or not.

Looks like an interesting recipe. Love new ways to pickle! Might need some editing though (or maybe I've just got a bit confused):
Point 4. 'in the same deep pot' – no pot is mentioned before, or does this mean the crock?
Points 5 and 6 – I think these are the same?

Hi Sophie! There was a typo in the recipe—thanks for catching it! I've updated it now. Please let me know if you have any more questions and happy fermenting!
