mrsbrownOn Monday night my mother told me of the beans she likes to eat and how they were kept.
Mum calls them "Snee boon" and they're longer than normal beans. Apparently they're called european or continental beans here.
When Mum was a child, the family had an earthenware pot into which the beans were laid with salt. After a quick wash, they could eat beans year round.
My book of preserving, "Keeping Food Fresh" has the recipe.
