Frequently asked questions

What is meant by "stringing"?
To string beans means to remove the tough thread along the side of the pod before cooking.
Is home canning of beans safe?
Important warning: beans are low-acid, and low-acid home canning made in an ordinary water bath can develop Clostridium botulinum and a deadly toxin. The 1900 method with a 5–10 min water bath is not safe enough by today's knowledge. Use a pressure canner/autoclave according to modern instructions, or pickle the beans in a sour vinegar brine instead.
