Canned green beans
Description
A simple way to preserve for later. Before eating, underripe asparagus bean pods must be heat-treated. Fresh pods contain a substance that can cause poisoning in large amounts. For winter storage, blanch the beans in boiling water. Then pack them tightly into jars and cover with marinade. Store in a cool, dark place.
