Avoid using old beans or any with blemishes as this frequently causes cans to spoil. Tie the beans in a cheese cloth bag and blanch from five to eight minutes in boiling water. Remove and plunge in cold water. Pack in glass jars up to the neck; fill to overflowing with hot water and add one-half teaspoon of salt to one pint jar.
