I would say this:
result='{'
h.each_key do |key|
  result<<key.inspect<<'=>'<<h[key].to_s<<','
end
result=result.slice(0,result.length-1)<<'}'

however, you seem to want quotation marks around the string, so you
could try this

result='{'
h.each_key do |key|
  result<<key.inspect<<'=>'
  if /^</.match h[key].inspect
    result<<h[key].to_s
  else
    result<<h[key].inspect
end
result=result.slice(0,result.length-1)<<'}'
