| INGREDIENTS: | ||
| 1 pound green beans, washed | 2 quarts water | 1/4 pound salt pork, diced |
| 2 teaspoons salt | 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper | |
| 1 | Snap the ends off the beans, and string on heavy thread. Hang in sunny place to dry for two months. When you are ready to cook the beans, soak them for 1 hour in the two quarts of water. Add the salt pork, salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer very slowly, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours. Add additional water if necessary. Serve hot, with lots of broth, as a vegetable. Corn pone is the perfect accompaniment-good for "sopping up" the potlikker. |
