To Dry Lima Beans

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Gather the beans when they are ready to cook.

  2. String the pods with twine using a darning needle.

  3. Hang the strings in a shady, airy place until the pods are thoroughly dried.

  4. Shell the beans and hang them in a paper bag until needed.

  5. Soak the beans overnight before cooking as you would with fresh beans.
