Beans Recipe

Beans are a nice winter vegetable, but cooked with pork as "baked

beans," are too strong for daily use, but are a desirable article of

food cooked more plainly. Choose the small white beans, put them in a

saucepan with as much cold water, as will cover them well and a small

pinch of baking soda; when they have simmered a few minutes drain off

the water and replace it with hot water and a little salt; if possible

let them cook without boiling hard; when tender drain, and dish with a

liberal piece of butter and a dust of pepper. They are also good thrown

when drained into the frying pan with some dripping, pepper and salt,

and heated a few minutes over the fire. The only attention they require

in cooking is lest they melt into soup when nearly cooked.
