Pick, wsh and drain a batch of fresh, firm 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 bean, pushing them along the thread so they are about 1/4in. apart.
Hang the string of beans in a warm, well ventilated place to dry. They will shrivel. To cook, cover with water and soak overnight. Drain, renew the water and parboil slowly for about half an hour. Drain again. Cook with hamhocks or salt pork until tender. Serve with cornbread.
This is the same way the pioneers preserved and cooked greenbeans. Aunt Wea's neices and nephews remember her cooking them the same way from the time they were little, until the time they were 'big'!
