Directions
When preparing French beans it is most important to remove the stringy fibre that extends along the back of the pod. If they are to be eaten as a separate dish they may be cooked entire ; if not, it is best to cut up the pods. Put them into a double saucepan, with 5 pint water to 1 lb. beans, \ oz. butter, \ teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of pepper, a teaspoonful castor sugar to partially preserve the colour Set the lid of the saucepan on loosely and boil for 2 hours.
