About Mould on Preserved Beans Dear Aunt Daisy, Several people have had some trouble this year with their preserved beans, which have developed a mould on top, Here is my experience. : I tried putting them down quite dry. There has been such constant rain this season. So I tried to pick the beans as soon as they were quite dry againand of course, they were very young. I did not wet them at all, and I used the usual proportion of 1lb, salt and 121b, sugar. On three large bottles done in this way there is no mould showing yet. They were done in February and it is now June. In a fourth bottle, however, I had some wet beans, and though I wiped them, there is a little mould showing, I am passing this news on gladly. In a dryer season, I’d probably hose the vines; but. let them dry thoroughly before picking.-"Experimenter,’ Highland Park. In case anyone has forgotten the recipe, here it is:To 2%Alb. beans allow IIb. salt and YzIb, sugar. Cut beans as for the table, put in bowl, Mix sugar and salt, well sprinkle over beans, and leave overnight. Next day pack the beans into jars, cover with the brine which formed. Keep in a cool place. Don’t screw airtight, Wash and cook as usual.
