Directions:
Wash and drain green beans. Remove ends and strings. Use a large darning needle with heavy white thread and thread through the pod near the middle of each pushing them along the thread so that they are about 1/4 inch apart. Hang up the strings of beans in warm, well ventilated place to dry. They will shrivel and turn greenish gray.
To cook in the winter time, cover with water and soak overnight. Drain and renew water. Cook slowly with ham hock or salt pork until tender. Serve with cornbread if you desire.
