String Beans

Ingredients

half lean
salt
pepper

Directions

String, cut into inch pieces and throw into cold water for half an hour. Cut some nice slices of salt pork, half lean, and thin, and put on to boil with the beans. Cook until the beans are perfectly tender. Drain very dry and add butter and salt if necessary, though the pork usually makes them salt enough, and pepper to your taste. To those who are not prejudiced against pork this will be found a delicious way to cook beans, and they are much better than when cooked without it. Green peas are also nice cooked in the same way.
