INSTRUCTIONS

1974    
String very full beans as you would for cooking, but do not break
them. Thread beans on twine, using just enough beans on each string
for one or two meals. Then drop them into a brine of 1/2 cup coarse
salt and one gallon of water for 15 minutes. Drain on newspaper. The
brine will keep bugs away from your beans. Hang the strings of beans
on wire or rope in a dry place for at least three weeks. Make sure
they are completely dry or they will mold.  Prior to cooking the dried
beans, pour lots of boiling water over the  beans and soak overnight.
In the morning, wash the beans well and  cover with water in a pan.
Cook for 2 hours; then add salt, lard or  bacon grease, and pepper.
Finish cooking about 2 hours more, adding  water as needed.  Source:
