BACK IN THE DAY
Ever heard of leather britches? This isn’t the kind
that hugs your curves. LOL Back in the day, people would use string and a large-eye
needle to help preserve their green beans for the winter. One by one, they
threaded the string through the middle of the green beans. When they had strung
a length of about three feet, they tied off the ends and hung the beans in a
dry place. My Mammaw hung hers from the rafters of her enclosed porch. When the
green beans had dried, they would turn brown and leathery, hence the name, leather britches. When Mammaw was ready
to cook a pot, she would take down a string full of beans, reconstitute them in
water, and then cook them. My mom said they were delicious.
