Another recipe safety question...sorry

Ok, I found this recipe and would like to try the flavor combination. From the looks of this one the vinegar/water ratio is definitely not right. They do call for a much longer boil though. My idea was maybe to use the BBB dilly bean recipe and change the spices as some other posters have done (when I did a quick search). I question the sugar though. I'm not sure what that will do to the pH. I appreciate your help.

Dante's Kitchen Pickled Green Beans

1 1/3 cups sugar

2 2/3 cups white vinegar

4 cups water

2 lbs green beans, trimmed

1/2 tablespoon clove

10 garlic cloves, cut in half

1/2 tablespoon allspice

6 dried small hot dried chilies

3 bay leaves

1 tablespoon peppercorn

3 tablespoons kosher salt

Directions:Prep Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 30 mins

1 Combine sugar, vinegar and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. 2 Mix all the spices and salt together. 3 Pack green beans tightly into clean sterilized jars. 4 Divide the spices into the jars. Pour boiling pickle base into jars to cover beans and spices, leaving 1/2 inch head space. 5 Cover with lids and bands. Process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes. 6 Adjust time according to your altitude. Carefully remove hot jars. 7 Let cool at room temperature for a day.
