To Preserve Beans
Dear Aunt Daisy, In The Listener a week or two ago you gave a recipe for preserved beans. We used up the last of my preserved beans the other day, and as I cannot give a way to improve the "layer salt" preserved beans in cooking, I can at least give you my easy recipe for preserving new season’s beans. Here it is: Prepare the beans as for immediate cooking. To each quart of water add 1 tablespoon of common salt, not table or iodised. Boil for 10 minutes, add the prepared beans and boil for 10 more minutes, then fill warm jars with the beans immediately. Overflow with the water before sealing. To use-tip the beans into the colander and wash well. Place in a saucepan. of cold water and bring to the boil. Do. not cook, only bring to the boil. No salt or soda is needed when preparing for table. Lastly, I do not manage to get all your broadcasts, but generally am in time for your "signing-off" tune. My favourite is " For Absent Friends." Can you tell me the name of the tune? It is not in the Bristol Tune Book.- " Maori Doll" (R.D., Waihi). We are all glad to get your good, tested recipes for preserving beans, and also for cooking them afterwards. I expect more beans than ever will be preserved this year, as so many more people fave gardens. Yes, the hymn "For Absent Friends" is my favourite, too. We published the words in "The Listener" some weeks ago. The tune is "Cairnbrook," by E. Prout, and this is in Hymns Ancient and Modern, No. 595.
