French Beans No 1 Recipe
Gather them when very slender; string and parboil them in very strong
salt and water; then take them out, and dry them between two linen
cloths. When they are well drained, put them into a large earthen
vessel, and, having boiled up the same kind of pickle as for cucumbers,
pour as much upon your beans as will cover them well. Strain the liquor
from them three days successively; boil it up, and put your beans into
the vinegar on the fire till they are warm through. After the third
boiling, put them into jars for use, and tie them down.
