Drying Beans
Dear Aunt Daisy, This is my first time of writing to you, but I listen to your session when I can, and always read your page in The Listener. I have heard you several times describing how to preserve beans and peas by the "three-hour method," and have also heard you mention drying beans as a method of preserving them, I have done quite a lot the latter way, and am wondering if people realise what a simple and successful method it is. I took the precaution first of trying a few out by drying them and then soaking and cooking them; and they were just as nice as those I did last year in bottles. There is no fuel required, and the only time it takes is in cutting them up finely, I put them on trays out in the sun for a few days, turning them over in paper bags. The bottles I used for beans last year, I am saving for extra tomatoes, as I think you cannot have too many of them for winter soups, savoury dishes, etc.
