Ingredients

Young tender Green Beans (at least 3 pounds)

1/4 pound slab of pork

Directions

Snap tips of green beans off.

Tie a knot on the end of a heavy sting, thread green beans with a heavy gauge needle (like long strings of beads).

Hang beans indoors in a sunny dry place until thoroughly dry. This may take up to two months. (check on beans periodically for fungus or mold; remove any bad beans from string).

When dry store in a container until ready to use.

To use beans: Wash beans and soak 2 cups dried beans in 2 cups of water for an hour.

Add 1/4 lb. slab pork, salt, and pepper.

Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Stir, simmer for about 3 hours or until beans are tender. Add water as needed to keep beans from burning.
