Preserving Broad Beans

Deat Aunt Daisy, 1 would be grateful if you could help me through your most interesting pages in The Listener? We are very fond of broad beans, and as we have several rows in this year, I am wondering if there is any reliable way of preserving them. Also, could you tell me the secret of peeling egg shell from hard boiled

eggs cleanly?

Broad beans, like other non-acid vegetables, need a loftig period of sterilising after at least 3 minutes’ blanching. Peas and broad beans should be sterilised in water-bath for 3 hours. The blanching is done by tying thém in a muslin bag and plunging into boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes, then into cold water for 1 minute to make them easy to handle. Fil] them into preserving jars, already sterilised, cover with boiled water, leaving 2 inch to 1 inch of space for expansion. Seal tightly arid sterilisé in water-bath for 3 hours after it returns to the boil, when the jars are in. A teaspoon of salt should be added to each quart jar, also a little sugar and vinegar. No matter how carefully vegetables have been selected and prepared, if not sterilised long enough they will not be certain to keep. All non-acid vegetables should be boiled again in their jars before using, or even testing Don’t put hot jars into cold water bath, or vice versa. Times and methods for preserving ‘fruit and vegetables are plainly set forth in my "Aunt Daisy Cookery Cook," as well as in a very definite and detailed book called "Preserving," published by the Home Science Department of the University of Otago. I would advise everybody to get this book (write to the University if not available at your book shop, sending 2/10), because it gives all possible information, including answers to every kind of question. There is also a "Bottling Outfit" (Australian) on the market,. which includes a wonderfully clear book of directions and is praciically infallible. Demonstrations of this are usually given in all big hardware stores. : | Peeling Hard-boiled Eggs: Just plunge them straight from the boiling water into cold water, or let the cold tap run on them till they are cold. The shell will come off quite easily.
